#FRENCH [ENGLISH BELOW]
La route. Lieu d’échanges sociaux et commerciaux. Lieu de passage et de transition. Lieu de vie, simplement.
Spectatrice du quotidien, elle en porte parfois les marques. Manifestations, revendications ou rassemblements, aux premières loges, elle participe passivement.
Bousculée par la pression démographique grandissante, elle se transforme. De manière parfois anarchique, elle se fraie un chemin à travaers les maisons, les échoppes, les ordures et la nature. Trop petite pour supporter le flux de véhicules interminable, elle s’étire, s’allonge et se modifie au gré des besoins.
Quatre ou deux roues, camions, épaves et piétons se partagent ce territoire. À coups de klaxon, les colonnes désordonnées se faufilent péniblement. Les nombreux taxis et leur carrosserie jaune colorent les carrefours. Ils s’arrachent les clients. Surchargés, ils les déplacent entre deux pannes.
Les vendeurs itinérants occupent les derniers espaces libres. Ils déambulent de voiture en voiture. L’odeur poussiéreuse et la chaleur parfois insoutenable ne les découragent pas. Véritable centre commercial ambulant, on y trouve de tout. Boissons fraîches, gadgets en tout genre, cartes de recharge pour téléphones portables, fruits et légumes...
Lieu d’activités débordantes, la route et ses abords n’ont de cesse d’évoluer. La République de Guinée est en pleine expansion, ça se sent en passant...

The road. Place of social and commercial exchanges. Place of passage and transition. Place of life, simply.
Spectator of everyday life, she sometimes wears the marks. Demonstrations, demands or gatherings, at the front row, she participates passively.
Jostled by the growing demographic pressure, she is transformed. Sometimes in an anarchic way, she makes her way through homes, stalls, garbage and nature. Too small to support the endless flow of vehicles, she stretches, lengthens and changes as needed.
Four or two wheels, trucks, wrecks and pedestrians share this territory. With a honk of horn, the disordered columns sneak around. The many taxis and their yellow body color the intersections. They snatch customers. Overloaded, they move them between two breakdowns.
The itinerant salesmen occupy the last free spaces. They wander from car to car. The dusty smell and the sometimes unbearable heat do not discourage them. This is a true traveling shopping center, you will find everything. Fresh drinks, gadgets of all kinds, recharge cards for mobile phones, fruits and vegetables ...
Place of overflowing activities, the road and its surroundings are constantly evolving. The Republic of Guinea is booming, you can feel it while go through ...
