Must-see attractions
Grand Marché de Dantokpa
Cotonou
　　The seemingly endless Grand Marché du Dantokpa is Cotonou's throbbing heart, bordered by the lagoon and Blvd St Michel.

Cotonou

Eglise St Michel
Cotonou
　　This pastel pink and green Catholic church is a simple affair, but notable for its exterior (it looks a bit like a pink gingerbread house). The interior is less interesting, but provides a cool respite from the manic city. ...
