Cotonou's 11th District is one of the city's liveliest, most central areas — a favorite with both locals and middle-class expats.

  • Gbégamey: The student and education hub, plain and simple. It's home to well-regarded schools, training centers, and sits close to the university campus.
  • Vodjè: A highly sought-after residential neighborhood, prized for its central location and calm streets.
  • Saint Jean: Known for its central square, landmark church, and market.
  • Oueyiho: A quiet, high-quality residential pocket.
