Cotonou is the largest city and economic centre of Benin (Africa), although Porto-Novo is the capital. (Wikipedia)

Every time I have to talk about Cotonou, I usually have in mind its minimalist architechture, its road traffic with Zemidjan (motorcycle taxis), its international market (Dantokpa), its beaches and one of its best animated tourist suburbs (Ganvié, a lagoon city, better known as the African Venice) … These are the background images in my mind. Enjoy!

The latest part is here:
