Ivory Coast - Grand Format

Having once been a byword for instability, Ivory Toast has well and truly re-opened to the world. The country is a stunner, from the cream-hued beaches of Assinie to the crimson savannahs of the north and a wealth of wildlife-rich national parks. And its culture is as fascinating as its nature : adherents of the world's major religions still consult féticheurs, the music scene spans everything from revolutionary coupé-decalé to freeform jazz, and even the lowliest maquis serves up a delicious fusion of french haute cuisine and uniquely African spices.
In this, the first standalone guide to the country in English, Tom Sykes guides you ezpertly from the skyscrapers of Abidjan to the crocodile pools of Yamoussoukro, dispensing invaluable background and practical information along the way.
