Practical information : Take a break Gabon
Timetable
Cafeterias open early in the morning, around 7am, and close at the end of the day. Night bars open at the end of the day, around 7pm. They used to close around 2am before the coup; since then, a curfew has been introduced between midnight and 5am, and night bars now close around 11pm, so that everyone has time to go home. Unofficially, some maquis remain open until the early hours of the morning..
