OLD CITY
This maze of alleys and concessions constitutes the oldest district of Bobo-Dioulasso (quite dirty, damage!), surrounded by the Houet and Sanyon rivers. It is inhabited by the descendants of the founders of the city of Sya. The guide explains the animist rites still practiced in the district, and the relationships between the different castes (natives, griots, blacksmiths...), while introducing you to some souvenir shops along the way, where he is not obliged to buy... At the very bottom of the village, the Houet's marigot serves both as a bathtub and sink. Fishing is strictly prohibited, the river is full of catfish, sacred fish that are treated here as human beings, otherwise heavy penalties are to be expected. During your visit, you may have the opportunity to attend a mask outing, which will make this visit all the more interesting and memorable. Make sure that your guide is certified by asking for his card, and make sure of the price charged, because the visit could quickly become unpleasant.
