The best fashion and gift stores Pointe Noire

M-L'Or Création (on the first floor) and L'Atelier (on the^1st floor) is the place to go if you're looking for original pieces imagined by Marie-Laure and Marlène, then crafted by local artisans and artists. You'll find beautiful jewelry, combining gold, silver, stones, wood, leather... all finished to surprisingly high standards. The furniture and interior decorations are not to be outdone, with remarkably original work in metal and wood. Excellent souvenir ideas and a pleasure for the eyes!

Pointe-Noire's must-visit bookshop, located in the heart of the main avenue. Here you'll find all the national and international press, including French, a well-stocked section of recently published books, a well-stocked stationery section and a few books on the Congo or written by interesting Congolese authors. This is also where you can get a very detailed map of the whole country. If you're looking for a particular book, the sales assistant can order it for you, depending on her suppliers.
