Marchã©
Grande Marche
It has just about everything you need in it to live in burkina from cloth to plastic buckets, jewelry and nailpolish remover, to sewing shears and gas lamps and a nice varied selection of veggies and fruits. itâs also fun to hang out in the meat stalls if you like to see your cut of fresh meat being chopped right there, and be splattered with bits of gristle and bones not recommended for the vegetarians. as usual, take particular care of your valuables as pickpockets are always on the lookout for easy targets.
Marche de Fruits
If the Grand Marche is too intimidating or you donât have the time to hassle with it, nearly every neighborhood has a pretty comprehensive marche somewhere â just ask. Also worth noting is the Marche de Fruits â that is on the road that leads to the Airport towards Banfora and Orodara. Youâll see a sign pointing off to the right that says âMARCHE DE FRUITSâ . Piles of mangoes, oranges, bananas, ignames, and patates live there in season.
Marina Market
Also to note is the Marina Market â a very Western style supermarket with lots of Arabic imports, cheeses, chocolate, wine, alcohol, doodads and tchatchkis for your hut in village, etcâ¦. Haggling for prices is not allowed. Cousin to Marina Market is Cobodim, which has much the same selection in terms of goods. It is located catty corner to the SouthWest corner of the Marche. Haggling for prices is not allowed here either.
Antoine
His shop is in accartville north. to get there, get a taxi to go just past the bar âjardin dâedenâ in that neighborhood and drop you off at the road just after jardin dâeden you will see a mini bar called cp1. walk approximately 2 blocks in on that cp1 road, and on the left hand side â you will see a mango tree surrounded by lots and lots of mud bricks. the door to the tailor is right by that tree â ask someone sitting in the street if you canât find him.
