About these names

Distances are short on a map but slow on the ground: traffic, motorbikes and broken pavements make a taxi the default between areas.

Lomé runs east to west along the coast. The Grand Marché and the streets around it form the busy old centre, the cathedral and the museum sit a few blocks north, the beach road runs along the sea, and the Deux Février hotel and government quarter lies north-west. The Ghana border is at the western edge; the fetish market and the old Bè quarter are east.
