Cotonou's Grand Marché, one of the largest markets in the sub-region, stocked with second-hand clothes and goods imported from Nigeria...

Dantokpa, Cotonou's main market, is also one of the largest in the sub-region. Partly covered, it extends over several streets. You'll find everything here: second-hand clothes, fabrics, groceries, handicrafts... Many goods are imported from Nigeria, often smuggled in, such as alcohol and tobacco or household appliances. Never forget that haggling goes without saying and that all purchases must be negotiated. Check your purchases carefully, as some can get lost between your hand and the plastic bag under the stall.

Un marché immense! Pour y accéder, demandez à votre taxi ou votre zem de vous déposer dans un "quartier" particulier (tailleurs, fruits, chaussures...). Les commerçants sont sympathiques mais il faut négocier ferme surtout si vous êtes un "yovo"(blanc)mais l'ambiance est souvent surréaliste... Allez-y accompagné d'un ami cotonois, c'est plus facile !

The market is huge and for this reason the guide brought me in Sunday to avoid too crowds. Still it was pretty noisy and chaotic as all African marked. Original leaves is the fetish market'if you can tolerate the smell of rotten head of leopards, monkeys, sharks, birds and so on. It is for tenacious stomachs and boat take pictures unless you pay.
