Tour of Grand Bassam

Tour of Grand Bassam

About this activity

Step beyond the landmarks and discover the history, creativity and everyday life of Grand-Bassam on a private guided tour. Stroll through UNESCO-listed Quartier France, where colonial-era architecture tells the story of the town’s past. Your guide will bring the streets and landmarks to life as you visit the National Costume Museum in the former Governor’s Palace, the former Courthouse, the former CFAO trading post, Maison du Patrimoine, the N’zima Royal Palace, the Centre de Céramique and a contemporary art gallery.

Then experience local life in the N’zima fishing community. See N’zima women smoking fish and, depending on the day’s activity, fishermen pulling their boats ashore with ropes.

Make the experience your own with one optional activity: glide across the lagoon on a short canoe ride of up to 30 minutes, with views of Grand-Bassam from the water, or join a batik workshop. Batik is a textile art that uses wax and dye to create patterns on fabric.
