Salut! Grand Bassam offers a good getaway plan when you are in Abidjan. Below are some of the historic sites you must visit while visiting the town, some are in the video:
• Centre Culturel Jean-Baptiste Mockey Et Bibliothèque Communale
Was initially a market (1934) but was later transformed to the community library (1981)
• Maison Du Patrimoine Culturel
Art gallery and an exhibition center that promotes and preserves the culture of the natives of Grand Bassam.
• Pont De La Victoire
The bridge is dedicated to the women who marched in 1949 for their husbands who had been jailed to be freed.
• Musée National Du Costume
The museum holds important traditional costumes from different parts of the country.
• Maison Des Artistes
• Le Centre De Céramique
A training and manufacturing center for porcelaine
• Cathédrale Du Sacré-Cœur
Oldest cathedral in Cote d’Ivoire, was built in 1895
• Le Phare de Grand-Bassam
A light house that was built in 1914
• Maison Ganamet
Was built in the 1920s by a Lebanese trader.
I went there by public transportation and paid 1,000 CFA to go and to come back to Abidjan. It took me 1hr because of traffic and waiting for the van to fill up but it should take you less if you go by private car.
There are restaurants/hotels with pools located just next to the Atlantic ocean however i wouldn't advise anyone to go swimming as the waves in Bassam are usually strong.
