Cotonou Sights

  1. Grand Marché du Dantokpa

    The seemingly endless Grand Marché du Dantokpa is Cotonou's exhilarating, exhausting heart, bordered by the lagoon and Blvd St Michel. Everything under the sun can be purchased in its labyrinthine lanes, particularly if 'everything' happens to be a dodgy Lucky Dube CD or a pair of plastic sandals. More traditional fare, such as batiks and Fon jewellery, can be found in the market building. There is also a fetish market, located near the pirogues arriving from the lagoon.
