map of Benin [ Africa ]
Benin ; French: Bénin [benɛ̃]), officially the Republic of Benin (French: République du Bénin) and formerly known as Dahomey, is a country in West Africa. It is bordered by Togo to the west, Nigeria to the east, Burkina Faso to the north-west, and Niger to the north-east. The majority of its population lives on the small southern coastline of the Bight of Benin, part of the Gulf of Guinea in the northernmost tropical portion of the Atlantic Ocean. The capital of Benin is Porto-Novo, but the seat of government is in Cotonou, the country's largest city and economic capital. Benin covers an area of 114,763 square kilometres (44,310 sq mi) and its population in 2018 was estimated to be approximately 11.49 million Benin is a tropical nation, highly dependent on agriculture, and is a large exporter of palm oil and cotton. Substantial employment and income arise from subsistence farming.
The official language of Benin is French, with several indigenous languages such as Fon, Bariba, Yoruba and Dendi also being commonly spoken. The largest religious group in Benin is Roman Catholicism, followed closely by Islam, Vodun (commonly referred to as Voodoo outside the country) and Protestantism. Benin is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, La Francophonie, the Community of Sahel–Saharan States, the African Petroleum Producers Association and the Niger Basin Authority.
From the 17th to the 19th century, the main political entities in the area were the Kingdom of Dahomey, along with the city-state of Porto-Novo, and a large area with many different nations to the north. This region was referred to as the Slave Coast from as early as the 17th century due to the large number of people who were kidnapped and trafficked to the New World during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. After slavery was abolished, France took over the country and renamed it French Dahomey. In 1960, Dahomey gained full independence from France. The sovereign state has had a tumultuous history since then, with many different democratic governments, military coups, and military governments. A self-described Marxist–Leninist state called the People's Republic of Benin existed between 1975 and 1990. Alibori Kandi Borgou North North East

Nous c’est Tiphaine et Klimka et en automne 2021 on a quitté Genève pour partir sur les routes du monde à la rencontre de notre potentiel nouveau lieu de vie. C’est still in process !
On a commencé à partager notre voyage, nos rencontres, des prises de conscience, des moments de vie à travers cette chaîne Youtube et en donnant des aperçus de notre quotidien sur Insta.
Ce qu’on aime c’est retranscrire la beauté et l’authenticité des moments que l’on vit, l’énergie des lieux qu’on visite et des gens qui croisent notre chemin.
Et puis il y a un petit moment, une nouvelle idée a germé en nous…
On s’est dit que ce serait trop trop cool qu’une autre partie de notre voyage s’invite chez vous.
Alors on a créé Intégral, une boutique inspirée et éphémère qui va évoluer avec nous et au fil de notre voyage, de nos inspirations, de nos trouvailles.
