Grand Bassam is divided by the Ébrié Lagoon into two halves. ''Ancien Bassam'' is the former French settlement, facing the Gulf Of Guinea . It is home to the grander colonial buildings, some of which have been restored. It is now a popular Seaside Resort and also a centre for Crafts . The district is also home to a Cathedral and the Côte D'Ivoire National Museum Of Costume . ''Nouveau Bassam'', linked to Ancien Bassam by a Bridge , lies on the inland, northern side of the lagoon. It grew from the Africa n Servant 's quarter and is now the main commercial centre of the town. |
