After a 3h30 journey towards Yamoussoukro, our first stop will be at the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix, for a visit to the largest religious building in the world, and the Foundation for Peace. These emblematic monuments were erected under the initiative of Félix Houphouët-Boigny, true father of the nation. During this visit, you will dive into the heart of the history of the first President of the Ivorian Republic and discover his essential role as a former French deputy, his commitment to the non-violent struggle for the independence of the Côte d'Ivoire, as well as his relentless promotion of peace.

Following a lunch break, we will meet traditional Baoulé loincloth weavers established in the village of Gbomizambo, with the intention of introducing you to ancestral manufacturing methods, including testing. On site, you will attend a captivating N'goli masked dance show, emblematic of Baoulé culture and commonly celebrating the transition to adulthood of young people initiated into the ancestral traditions of this civilization.
