Stay in Cotonou

# Peaceful, and close to everything

In **Les Cocotiers**, a residential district between the airport and the heart of Cotonou. Your plane lands, and you have almost arrived.

About ten minutes from the airport

The Les Cocotiers district

## A quiet address, a city within reach

Calm, tree-lined streets, embassies and family homes: Les Cocotiers is one of the most peaceful districts of Cotonou. The ocean is a twenty-minute walk away, the airport just behind, and the city centre a few minutes off. You sleep well here, and getting around is easy.

Around La Résidence

## Everything starts here

Like a drop on water: La Résidence at the centre, and each ripple marks a distance as the crow flies. Every place sits in its true direction.

1. The ocean The beach, at the end of Les Cocotiers 1.2 km as the crow flies
2. The Amazon The Amazon statue and its esplanade, facing the sea 1.3 km as the crow flies
3. The airport Cardinal Bernardin Gantin International Airport 1.3 km as the crow flies
4. Étoile Rouge The great roundabout, towards the city centre 2.4 km as the crow flies
5. Fondation Zinsou Contemporary African art, in Ganhi 2.7 km as the crow flies
6. Fidjrossè The beach and its bars, to the west 3.5 km as the crow flies
7. Dantokpa Cotonou's great market, one of the largest in West Africa 4.5 km as the crow flies

Ripples and large figures: as the crow flies.

1.6 km away

## The Amazon watches over the ocean, just at the end of the district

Thirty metres of bronze facing the sea, a tribute to the women warriors of Dahomey: the Amazon esplanade is where Cotonou takes its evening stroll. Head out in the cool of the evening, come back for dinner.

## A stay in Cotonou, your way

1. ### For work  
The Palais des Congrès is 1.4 km away; the Marina, its ministries and embassies a few minutes off. In the evening you come back to calm: a real bed, the garden, and no one in the corridor.
2. ### For family  
Coming home, visiting relatives, preparing a move: from Les Cocotiers every district of Cotonou is close, and each evening you come back to a home rather than a hotel room.
3. ### To explore  
The Amazon statue and the ocean within walking distance, or nearly; the Fondation Zinsou, the Dantokpa market; and for a day out, Ganvié, Porto-Novo or Ouidah.

- Ganvié The stilt village on Lake Nokoué, by pirogue 26 km by road
- Porto-Novo The capital, its museums and Afro-Brazilian architecture 40 km by road
- Ouidah The Slave Route and the Door of No Return, by the ocean 42 km by road
