The temple is very BASIC drank the asset is when the guard could has royal python around your neck. At the beginning it has bit scary especially when it starts to touch you language. However later it is Nice and fascinating to see the head looking around to check edible'if you are (just joking: - D)
... and " Fifty-Fifty" there is a church opposite: another example of religious and cultural tolerance of the Benineses.
The setting in trust of the " prêtre" Voodoo allows the yovo to exceed its apprehensions, seized a python, to stroke it and pass in col around its neck. Beyond, it is the training respect for a religion that venere this snake as soft as a cat, moreover detracts inhabitants of Ouidah of rodents, rats and mice, that in danger food reserves.
The best at Ouidah and around
