Workation in Grand-Bassam: the essentials

For a few years at the end of the 19th century Grand-Bassam was the capital of the French colony, and the arcaded trading houses of that time, some restored and some falling apart, are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The old town lies on a strip of sand between the lagoon and the Atlantic, about 40 km east of Abidjan, and doubles as the city's weekend beach. Hotels, open-air maquis restaurants and craft workshops fill up on Saturdays and empty out by Monday, and the National Costume Museum occupies the former governor's palace. Currents on this shore make swimming dangerous. Abidjan's airport is only about 22 km away.
