About these names

Addresses in Abidjan often work by landmark and quartier rather than a house-number system: tell your driver the district and a nearby landmark, not just a street name.

Everything a first visit needs sits around the Ebrié Lagoon in a rough triangle: Plateau (the business core) faces Treichville and Marcory/Zone 4 across the water to the south, and Cocody wraps the lagoon's northern bay. Bridges (Houphouët-Boigny, De Gaulle, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, the tolled Bédié bridge) are the only links, and they jam hard at rush hour.
