LA VITRINE DU BRONZE

Two stays and quite purchases of bronze made in this place. I did not have a problem with vendors even if they expect to see everything you buy something to them. Of course, you have to bargain. For those that interests, I have a trick: you check in to the shop number 2 (son by the Lion) and you ask Espumoso. It is an honest strapping state park. You can ask him to guide you during the visit and temperate sellers who would be too insistent. Thank, you can leave it the room (a tip of 2000 CFA is £2 for example) or, better still, buy an object to it (it is seller himself) or to give it a present (an old mobile phone - those from before the time of the smartphones - with charger, for example. They are very popular in Africa as very solid and good autonomy on the battery).
You can also buy sunbathing in the street opposite the Azzalaï hotel where the shop owners have beautiful objects (you can request Razzo from shop 16, it is clean).
Finally, there is the handicraft village located east of the airport (next to the Sotraco bus stop) where you can ask to visit the site of production of the objects for a small tip. A founder will help you make the visit and the technique of the coulée bronze to lost wax will explain. It is very informative.
Good tours and good purchases.
Be nice with all the sellers of objects of art Their job is not easy and they are, for the large majority, very nice as most burkina-faso elsewhere.

It is difficult not to be flock around by a seller and its shopping quietly but you can nevertheless there find small rooms interesting and pretty and find bargains.
