Your Program:
1. Place des Enchères (formerly Place Chacha)
Departure from Place des Enchères. Pause at this emotionally charged site, the former public slave market where exchanges and sales took place during the slave trade in Dahomey.
2. La Case Zomai
Cycle in comfort to this former prison, where slaves were held before being deported to the Americas.
3. Zoungbodji Memorial / Mass Grave
Guided stop at this poignant site, built on the location of the mass grave where slaves deemed too weak for the crossing were thrown.
4. Tree of Return
Guided stop at this tree, which enslaved people would circle three times. This ritual ensured that, no matter what happened or where they died, their spirits would return to the land of their ancestors.
5. The Door of No Return and the Departure Ship
Continue your tour to the beach, where the majestic Gate of No Return stands, recently renovated, taller, and illuminated. Admire the magnificent Departure Boat as your guide provides you with the final explanations for this memorable day.
6. Temple of the Pythons & Basilica of the Immaculate Conception
Marvel at these two places of worship facing each other, a powerful symbol of the coexistence of religions in Benin. If you're brave enough, you can have your photo taken with a python around your neck. Visit the local craft centers and discover unique art pieces to take home for your loved ones.
7. Lunch Break – Committed Local Restaurant
Enjoy a delicious local meal prepared in an authentic setting before finishing your tour!
