About Ivory Coast

Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) is a land of striking contrasts - from the gleaming skyscrapers of Abidjan, the "Paris of West Africa," to the world's largest church in Yamoussoukro, and the charming colonial streets of Grand-Bassam. This French-speaking nation offers sophisticated cuisine, vibrant nightlife, pristine beaches, and unique cultural experiences. The country's economic prosperity is evident in its modern infrastructure, yet traditional village life continues in the interior. Visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, larger than St. Peter's in Rome, and explore the rainforests of Banco National Park.
