About Cotonou
Cotonou, Benin's largest city and seat of government, is a busy port on the Gulf of Guinea, lying between the Atlantic and Lake Nokoué.
Cotonou sprawls along a strip of land between the ocean and a lagoon, and is the commercial heart of the country, while Porto-Novo, to the east, holds the title of capital. Motorbike taxis called zémidjans fill its avenues. The Dantokpa Market, among the largest open-air markets in West Africa, sells everything from spices and cloth to household goods, and the red and white Notre-Dame cathedral and the seafront at Fidjrossè offer calmer corners.
