    The traffic on the main drag is CRAZY and I don't think it would be pleasant on the side roads when there's rain. My husband doesn't want me to take a scooter taxi, but everyone rides them.

  • Zimmedjans! (moto-taxis) They're great! Fast and very unsave. In night the drivers can be drunk, but forget about that and use them. Nearby Marche Dantokpa it can be very hard to bargaining. Walk to a less special place and try again. Stay also alert. Very sometimes the guys don't speak french or have problems in their head, but they won't bring you to the right place. Let them stop and take another one. You can play saver by using only the guys with clean cloths and to talk a little to check their language skills. If you're with another person it's sometimes cheaper to go with two on one zimme.
    If you stay for a long time, you can get your own zimme.

    Very slower, but cheaper and saver are the taxicars. But they aren't very useful for citycrossing.

    Don't use a bike in Cotonou.

    For short distances you can take a walk. Cotonou is save to walk. Not much criminality and often trottoirs, but don't fall into the riols (they're open at some places).

  • Air France flies to Cotonou. If you have a short connection in Paris your luggage won't make it.
    We took Royal Air Maroc last time--much better fare, but on the way back to europe it's a very long layover in Casablanca. The service was great and our luggage made it
    Friends have flown through Libya which is a pretty good connection
