About this activity

Dorine or Aichatou are 2 beneficiaries of a training that allows them to develop cultural tours to promote Grand Bassam.

They have designed a City Tour which will make you discover Grand-Bassam and its inhabitants with a fresh look, in particular through a mini tour and an encounter with craftsmen who make the particularity of Grand-Bassam.

In this small town not far from Abidjan, you will quickly be seduced by the astonishing diversity of the heritage, the refinement of its inhabitants, as much on the general behavior of their environment and their habitat as on the quality of their welcome. You will hear everywhere: “Akwaba, welcome”.

Our guides therefore hope, thanks to this tour, to open the doors of this charming and unique city to you through a city tour followed by a Pottery workshop.
