Découvrez Abidjan, la Côte d’Ivoire c’est un autre NIVEAU 2/2 🇨🇮😍 (cc anglais)

[**Music**] Before the video starts, I invite you to do the three saving gestures, namely: subscribe to the channel, like the video (this is very important for SEO), and Share around you. Hello, hello everyone! I hope you’re doing well. So today,

We are going to restart our little tour of Abidjan before I leave the country. So, maybe we’ll go to the airport so you can see how chic Abidjan is, Ivory Coast is chic. I am still with Mr. Thomas. Thomas, how are you? Very well thank you. And you, how are you ?

Thanks very much. This is where we are now, Mr. Thomas. We are at the Riviera. Let’s say, at the Riviera Triangle, the Riviera 4-5 division. This is one of the country’s military camps, therefore the armed battalion. OK, that’s not where the chief of staff is. It’s not here. Well,

There is a leader, but he is not the chief of staff. Okay, there you go. And this is a residential area, as you can clearly see. Hm-hm. And this is the Lycée Français d’Abidjan? French, yes. B, one of the French high schools. Then there are French high schools.

He is Jacques Pr, I think. OK, there are several French high schools, how many, total? Well, I don’t know the whole thing. There, it’s the Jacques Pr French high school. And over there, in blue, over there, it’s the American high school.

Okay, there you go. This is all American high school. Okay, behind this fence, that’s it. Yes. So today is Sunday, the elephants are playing tonight. What’s your winning bet on your team, right? Yes, of course. It will be the clash of the titans. May the best win. For my part,

In any case, these are two great West African teams who gave everything for this competition. So, we can’t wait to see the result. Tonight, it will be even better if Ivory Coast wins, I think, since it is they who are hosting this African Cup of Nations. Given the amounts

Invested, given the organization of the tournament, given the atmosphere that there will be after this victory, it is still better that Côte d’Ivoire wins. But in the end, may the best win. We can’t play for them sometimes. We can support a team,

It’s not us who are behind, the ball goes into one of the residential neighborhoods too, a good neighborhood, if I can say so, because there, it’s called Beverly. There you go, from here to Abidjan, that’s it, you see, with big houses, all that. So, we are here

In West Africa. I would rather believe in the United States, with very beautiful houses. That’s it, with very large properties. Yes, I’ll show you a little trick. Look, you see state-of-the-art houses, with all the facilities. There you have it, with companies also present, including

Brandon McCain. So, there are famous people who live in this neighborhood, you know? Yes, yes, I learned, I learned that Drogba lived in that area. He has a house over there, all right. There you go, and there is the late minister Ahed Pakayoko who also lived here, on the left side, a

Very very neighborhood, look there, there are, indeed, very very beautiful houses here in Abidjan, very well built, very well thought out. For example, if I have a comparison to make with the beautiful houses found in Togo, and this is where I actually think that the architectural style

That was developed in Ivory Coast is very interesting. This is to the extent that in fact, there are very few huge fences. In fact, in Togo, the particularity is that even if you have a very beautiful house, people cannot see it from the outside. I believe this was

To deter thieves etc. But in Ivory Coast, we don’t do that. You can see the very beautiful properties from the outside. And one of the other points too, one of the other points, is that indeed sometimes we have fences like this which

Are not completely made of concrete but with grilles, as we can find in France. All the properties can be seen from the outside. And indeed, it is thought of a bit like what is done in Europe, in the West, in the United States,

A bit. There you go, very modern. People have just done Sunday sports. Well, in this beautiful area of ​​the Riviera, right? Our style of house on the left is a city, a residential city. Yes, so, I really noticed that there are a lot of residential cities in

Ivory Coast. Yes, you have to go in, there is a large entrance. Yes, yes, yes. And then, precisely, an entry like that, there you go, all these are residential cities. Several residential towns. Are these cities precisely closed? Can’t we access it if we don’t have anyone

Inside? There is no one in there and etc. What if you don’t have anyone in there? No, no, no, I don’t think so. On the other hand, there are times when visits are limited. All right. That’s it, otherwise, during the day, I think it’s accessible to everyone. All right. Or indeed, you see

Some very, very beautiful houses on the left. We are in the Riviera district. Can you remind us of the exact name? There, it’s the Riviera 4 and 5, and in front there, it goes 6, quarter okay. This is the stadium? No, no, no, the new headquarters. New Orange headquarters. Okay,

Indeed, billions, in my opinion, were invested. And this seat is very modern, very well thought out. So, here, we have several telephone operators. Telecom rather. So, we have Orange, we have Moov, we have MTN. Do we have any others? No, no, no, just the three.

Before, there were four of them, ultimately, there remained three. All right. So, is it going well? Have prices decreased in Abidjan? I know that before, the data, they agreed. On the other hand, here, we have the Hôtel du Golf. If you remember,

During the 2011 crisis, the president’s former stronghold? No, no, no, from the president’s former stronghold. And straight on, over there, it’s his place, ah okay. Before, we passed through the neighborhood and then hey, he had this done, we don’t pass there anymore, okay. There, he is with ambassadors,

Heads of international organizations, all that, okay, a bit residential. There are a few simple civilians there, but the majority are VIPs. All right. This is Riviera Golf. OK. Last time, I was talking about that, we came, when we came to look at the embassy, ​​that’s where we turned around, we turned around,

That’s it. So, everything here, this division, is the Riviera Golf. So, it’s President ADO’s neighborhood , absolutely. So, indeed, I had heard about Cocodi for a long time, Cocodi which was kind of the top place in Abidjan for a long time. Today,

We now talk a lot about Zone 4, Marcory, and etc. What happened ? Or , Zone 4 has always been very great too, because people talked about it less compared to Zone 4 has always been great, but Cocodi remains, because Cocodi has been around for a long time,

You can say that it’s It’s a period, it’s a period that all this began. Okay, OK, historically, Cocodi, that’s it, that’s the place, that’s it, Cocodi centers above all, where we made the video last time, that’s really the place, as we say here,

It This is the very zone of the babatè. Babatiè, what does that mean? Babatiè are people, rich people. Okay, there you go. Very stable financially. So, Baba is only from dad, as they also say, very good in West Africa, he, in general, you are my dad you.

You’re my boss. That’s it, we move forward to take the HKB bridge. And if we add “che”, it’s just to say that this shocks us, or is it not that? There, it’s no, that’s not that, that’s not that,

Ok, that’s not that. So, here we are going to take the bridge, which one? The HKB bridge, okay. H, is this the very last bridge? Or, uh, no, no, no, no, no, not the very last one. The very last one

Is on Yokouon’s side. And what do we call this one? The bridge, the Yop bridge, there? No, Well, for the moment, I haven’t seen the name yet. Ah OK. So, there you have it, even the, look at them, President Alassane and President Bédié. So, you see, the tolls are like in France,

The same thing. And that’s the ATM for those who have cards, sorry. Ok, you’re already used to it. Du, it’s, it’s, it’s. And over there, we have the crates. Okay, there you go.

So, there, on the right, is the lagoon. There you go, the lagoon is shiny. What about her, n? Yes, the lagoon is brilliant. So, Hébrié, is it given in the Baoulé language or has it always been the somewhat

Given name? No, Hébrié, it’s one, it’s one, it’s the ethnic group that, Okou, and it’s an ethnic group. So over there, the whole thing, what you see over there is Maori residential. All right. So, we see because of the bars, we don’t see very well, you see large buildings, indeed, there are

What we call, almost think they are condos. Condominiums in which people live in large buildings, a bit like in the Anglo-Saxon world, with a concierge downstairs, sometimes gyms et cetera, et cetera. So, now, how many bridges are there in Côte d’Ivoire, because they say that Côte d’Ivoire is the champion

Of bridges? Champion of bridges, we had, we had the first two bridges that were there, the bridge, you have to boigner, the Pont de Gaulle. Then, afterwards, there is this one who came, that makes the 3rd, and there is the bridge that the president had inaugurated, the P de Cocody,

The 4th, and now the bridge of, so we are going, That really helps relieve congestion in the city, that allows, who is there, who really plays this role, ok, the 5th, the 5th him, in reality, no, for my part, personally, which one is it? The Cocody bridge. Ah, okay, ok,

There you go, in the direction of Marcory, there you go, and there we are already in Marcory. On the right, it’s the Maori section, residential sector, that’s it, and there, we’re going to go to the Zone 4 side. Zone 4 STI,

Marcory is a commune, right? And then, Zone 4 is a district of Marcory, quite, Zone 4 Piéterie, and there are a lot of divisions inside, like Cocody, Riviera, and others. There you go, there is Riviera, there is Angré, there is Maou, there is Dokui, all of that is in Cocody. OK,

Here it is, it’s Sunday, so the city is a little calm, the road is also a little calm, you sometimes talk about traffic jam problems, there, you don’t seem to have any, no, normally no, and not, not 7, exactly, it starts in the afternoon, right,

Even the afternoon, late evening, early evening, but today, even with the match, it’s clear that from 3 p.m. it will start, it will heat up, eh, there you go, it will heat up from 3 p.m.,

B, there you go, we will, we will start to see a little residential Marcory, there we are in Zone 4, or Zone, no, Zone 4, there we are, here we are in Zone 4. Some say that, some say

That well, there is nothing, there is nothing in Zone 4, it is an industrial zone, et cetera, yes, in reality, it That’s it, Zone 4, it’s a bit like if I could say the Abidjan plateau, and Zone 4,

It’s a bit like that side of Marcory, okay, that’s it, so it’s the Marcory business district , it is now that Zone 4 has become, if I can say so, residential, but before. It was, there you go, there you go, we can, we can say it like that, absolutely, because, there is, there

Is Zone 3, Zone 3 which is definitely, even which is good, even for, for industries and, and businesses, OK, and that’s after, they did Zone 4, so they mixed it up a bit, so all of that is homes, businesses mixed together. There, we passed a dealership there, Suzuki,

Right? No, not Suzuki, Sociida, but who resells Suzuki and other brands, h, as you see there, large buildings under construction too, there you go, on several floors, which will surely be a building, uh, residential, don’t is this not ? Yes, and even on the left, here too,

We see very, very, very tall buildings. There are some who say that well, in Ivory Coast now, it has become difficult to live in such low houses, that’s it, the buildings are generally large buildings, the apartments, the Ivorians have gotten used to living in apartments rather than in houses, as in the country,

Because it’s true. There you go, that’s M Zone 4, yes, M Zone 4, that’s, that’s, hm, hm, hm, there you go, also another concessionaire, and so all these big buildings that you see are residential buildings , housing at the base. Myself, the first time I came to

Ivory Coast, and here the rent is no joke, is it? Rent is no game, that’s what I learned. The FO I had come here, it’s not I, I had come to Ivory Coast, I had come

To Zone 4, and then I had stayed mainly around Zone 4, and then sometimes I was going to Cocody et cetera, and they still told me, yes, they told me, but you don’t know anything at all about Abidjan. What I learned, for example, that the rent actually here is YES in Biéie itself,

It’s even worse in Biérie, we can, we can you, you can have, uh, three rooms , h, in any case really big rooms and which are in, let’s say 2lions 5 2li, yes, some even apparently live a lot in shared accommodation because it’s fair,

They take a room, well yes that too it’s a bit like that, it’s all habitation, habitation, habitation. So, there we are already, Biétry, no, no, not yet, I’m going to make a U-turn and then we’re going to go towards Biétry, ok, because everything here is a bit of Zone 4, h ,h,h. There, we’re going [Music] to leave again, and before, the majority of here, it’s that the way you see all these buildings today, these big, these big buildings, before it wasn’t like that. Before, there were buildings, but it was maybe, let’s say, a maximum of 2, 3, but what happened

In the meantime so well, people sold, eh? People sold, others bought back, and then well, they, that’s how the boom started, that’s it, that’s where it all started, but the owners, even in Biétry, even Basically before it was more the low villas,

Ah, ok, there you go, it was more the low villas at, how long ago? 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago? Yes, we will say, 2002, 2002, we 2002, 2001, 2002, 2001, 2002, owner is rather what, of, we will say, of, of Ivorians, Lebanese now, now, now,

Many Lebanese have bought back, and this kind of construction, this style, it’s more specific to the Lebanese, ok, that’s what we say a lot, indeed, yes, yes, yes, it’s them who, in all frankly for construction, they build very well, h, ok, indeed, I understood that, a large part of the Abidjan land

In any case is held by the Lebanese. Indeed, some say that only when there was the crisis of 2002, that’s precisely when people sold a lot because they were afraid. Yes, there are many who sold, who returned, there were, there were buildings that they destroyed. Well, why, I don’t know, maybe when

You come back, next year, you will see more buildings that have grown. OK, this side, until we go there, that’s more Zone 3 because that’s where Zone 3 comes from. Z3 is really an industrial zone, or zone 3 is no longer very city, okay, Zone 3 is no longer very because it’s really close together. There you go, in Zone 3 it’s more

It’s more very island, and they continued with Zone 4 at MAK 4, a mixture, there you go, it’s a dealer again who is in front, well there they are individuals, people who, in groups, will bring vehicles and who resell them either as new used goods but not

From dealers, dealers because the dealer does the follow-up, he does the after-sales service, he does the maintenance, all that, they don’t do it, OK, once you have bought the vehicle, you have bought it, you manage, that’s it,

All he can do is maybe if there is a problem, replace you, refund you, that’s it, that’s it. There we are, there we are in Piétry, OK, there we are, we have entered Piétry, Ah is in TR now, behind there, there is the lagoon, on the right always, always,

Yes, it’s not the ocean , it’s the lagoon, no, it’s the lagoon, the ocean is not on this side yeah, it’s very calm, there you go, see the signs in particular Société Générale here, there it’s another dealership , a Chinese Chinese dealer, so it seems that

The car business is doing very well here in Ivory Coast since yes, there are a lot of dealers, yes, yes, yes, indeed some come to Ivory Coast to do this business, we can talk in particular about Philippe Simau, he also does this business in Ivory Coast,

What is it more because people buy the cars, they put the yangos, that’s all in fact, it’s all it’s people who buy for themselves, everything, everything, everything, everything is everything is mixed, h, everything is mixed, we missed the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the

France which was just on our right, yes, here, there I didn’t want to show it was just before, there you go, so indeed we still stay there, we are still in Piétry or very large and very beautiful construction too, there you go, with buildings there if I count the number floor 1, 2,

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 uh, there you go, these are very tall buildings and whose apartments are of high standard. There it’s Sunday, people go to church, or here it’s a Catholic school, ah it’s the Notre Dame d’Afrique college in Biétry, OK, I attended here,

Ah you were at Biétry, yes at the time, you always lived in Abidjan, no, no, no, no, not always, I arrived in Abidjan in 99, before I was in blah, that’s in what part of the Ivory Coast ? Well, it’s in the center, it’s in the center next to Bo, there you go,

Boak Daloa all that, what people VI towards boif are the Gouros, so Bois what does that mean in the language maybe there, I I I don’t know Gouro, never known, Mo are the Gouros, h, like the

Two towns start with the same the same thing, we for example if we min if we add the Copé it means town or village, so it’s so if you see a town like Tickopé, Sewaikopé, that is to say the town of Chwa, the town of Sewa, the town of Lati et

Cetera et cetera, there you go, still another concessionaire that we passed on the. left so there we are leaving the biéter there was a beautiful house on the right I do n’t really know what it was but yes these are things that people have not yet sold

Otherwise as I said everything here before it was the base h villas I see that people have not yet sold they wanted to stay VO VO they wanted to quietly preserve that the Value of a thousand billions no yes we are still building currently we are still building a

Building here build buildings everywhere with cranes everywhere everywhere everywhere the China fair here we left the pie shop H so here we are going towards the airport that’s it yes is in portbouille in the commune of portbouille so we is going to go towards Portbouou airport norm that’s it but few people

Say FLE airport everyone says airport for yes in any case that’s what I hear or no lesiriens it’s different well here I mean more simply the airport the airport or not not deoport because even the airport it’s as if in Abidjan we had more it’s the only OK

Here it was the old round- point that we called Carrefour àaba here they are they are doing the work to make an interchange h interchange it is going it is to lead from where to where that is to say

Directly those who come or those who go to Bassam well I don’t know elsewhere they go directly without even disrupting traffic ah ok there it is those who go to the airport and who return to portboué who will do the who will take the sensiratoire

Ok we VO there is a team there are lots of people who take care of that so indeed they have defined zone h a little and why because there are a lot of people who went directly to Grand Bassam now there are a lot of of people

When they arrive at the airport they go to grand Bassan well no not that in fact it ‘s the traffic jams that it creates ah ok here’s this carfou there it was something so now in portboué so it’s one which it’s a commune or it’s a neighborhood a

Commune it’s a commune it’s a commune so in this commune do the people still have homes do yes yes or are they neighborhoods who also stayed in modne h OK over there it’s all purple and ahead we’re heading towards [Music] [Music] the airport VO There you go, it looks like there’s a hotel being built, it’s is that ? It’s a hotel or it’s a shopping center, no idea, we’ll see. OK, that’s good, I see that it seems to be the biggest shopping center in Ivory Coast. Ah well, there you go, so obviously it’s a project,

It started a long time ago or you don’t really know? No, no, no, I don’t even know, well even though I’ve been here several times, eh. Ah, OK, anyway, good. And over there, what you see on the left, over there, is the exhibition center,

Ah, it’s the Grand Dô there, there you go, it was inaugurated very recently, yes, it was recently inaugurated. So what’s going to happen there? There, the guys do shows, organize trade shows and so on. OK, here I see that we have put the name of several African countries,

Is this the name of the African countries which participate in the African Cup of Nations or yes in the African Cup? ‘Africa of Nations? We see South Africa, Guinea-Bissau, yes. There you go, this is in relation to the CAN, the African Cup of Nations, not necessarily those who

Participate but the African countries, so there you go. There we go, heading towards the airport. It’s here, it’s the National Civil Aviation Authority of Côte d’Ivoire, that’s it. Next to it is the Radisson hotel, on the left you have the Radisson hotel and then right next to it

You have the Onomo, so Onomo which is a chain of hotels all over Africa. I don’t know who it belongs to but I know that there it is, it is in Rwanda, in Togo, uh, in Ivory Coast too,

In several African countries you have found Onomo. So Onomo also who allowed us the other time to do some interviews, notably an interview with a pilot and then Open Africa, we see right next door we have the Carré Massena, we have Air Côte d’Ivoire here, there you go ,

Abidjan airport, Port-Bouët airport, Félix Houphouët-Boigny international airport, that’s it, we arrived then for me it’s the big departure so I’m going to miss this final but I’ll watch it at distance.
