Travel Tips from people who've been to Cotonou
La meilleure place pour manger: la rue

Le fait que les aliments sont achetés quotidienement est une garantie de salubrité alors quel les multiples pannes d'électricité pose des problèmes pour la viange surgelée des restaurants.

Go visit the beach far away from the city (about 20 km West on a pretty bad street - but it's worth it!). Especially when you can book one of these Palm-Houses :-)
