  Interesting place to visit though a lot of the locals weren't very friendly.

  Una Venezia lacustre in Africa. Da visitare assolutamente!Una giornata indimenticabile e attraente, il tempo qui si e fermato ed e' un esempio di organizzazione sociale. Tutto il trasporto su acqua ed anche la distribuzione dell'acqua potabile è su barche con taniche.

  Its a floating village and is worth a visit..
  This place is having a world heritage site status of UNESCO.
  The village was created in the sixteenth or seventeenth centuries by the Tofinu tribe took to the lake to avoid strong Fon warriors capturing slaves for sale to European traders. the Ganvie villager are often referred to as "water men."
