What you will see
Saint-Louis is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 08:31:33 local time, the Moon hides 30% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 07:40:34 and ends at 09:28:15, 1 h 48 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 23° above the horizon, towards the east, so you want a clear view in that direction from Saint-Louis.

The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Souk El Arbaa, about 2,324 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 40 s.
