A
Nuance
It's hard to beat this boutique for its combination of eclectic African art, textiles, clothing and carvings, all at reasonable (and fixed) prices. It supports local artists with occasional exhibitions, and its setting back from the street lends it a tranquil air.

Centre National d'Artisanat et d'Art
Profits here go directly to the artisan and although the quality of the products is mixed, take time to look over the bronze statues, wooden sculptures and colourful batiks, for there are some gems among the standard items you'll find elsewhere.
