Country in Across Africa
Côte d’Ivoire
Côte d’Ivoire brings together Atlantic lagoon cities, a political capital built around twentieth-century institutions, northern textile and museum traditions, western mountains and one of West Africa’s great surviving rainforest landscapes. Abidjan is the practical gateway, but Grand-Bassam, Yamoussoukro, Man, Korhogo and Taï are distinct places rather than stops on a manufactured grand tour.
