Côte d'Ivoire is a country with a turbulent history. But over the past 15 years, stability has returned, and with it a dynamic, booming economy. Since the African Cup of Nations, the country has seen the beginnings of tourism development, which could become an integral part of its economy. Its population is a marvellous patchwork of populations, with each ethnic group having its own way of life and multiple religions. The country is divided between rural life dominated by cocoa and urban life concentrated in Abidjan. But Ivorians unite in a beautiful harmony of celebration, in the maquis to laugh and dance, or to support their soccer team. In addition to its fascinating culture, the country boasts a thousand beauties, including the primary forest of Taï, the green mountains around Man and a poetic coastline between ocean and lagoon. The Sénoufos and Yacoubas, for example, perform traditional ceremonies with masks.
