Le Grand Marché is actually a very very big market, that, if you do not know where a particular vendor is, you might end up going in circles. However, I love love the natives of Lomé. En plus, the ability to hear and speak French very well endeared them to me, and made communication so easy. Most of them gave me mouthwatering discounts on hearing me speak their language. I can´t wait to go back there again. Lomé, my second home.

Historical landmark of Lome, the capital city of Togo and commonly known as Asigame, it is a commercial hub of the city and the country easily accessible by various roads, located close to the Roman Catholic Cathedral, a cluster of banks and not far from the administrative centre with a mosaic of modern architecture, old colonial buildings and a variety of shops, stalls, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, night clubs, cinemas, hotels, guest houses, etc... You can find there all kind of goods in a hustle and bustle of a busy and colourful market place. There is the history, legend and legacy of the "Nana Benz" who dominated the commerce of Holland Wax Vlisco in the whole of West Africa. Please visit there when you are in Lome. It is such a lovely experience.

The heart of Lomé. Business, people, sight and sound all round! It’s a busy and fast paced spot where much of the sights to see are round. Products are affordable and the people are nice with their “Tata” calls for you to make a purchase. Oh there were the police around they blocked the roads and peoples stopped because a Minister was passing by. It was a funny experience but glad I saw it happen.

It is a very big and crowded market. Yet very orderly. There are no cars allowed in the streets of the market so it is safe to walk. But just like any market, look sharp be wary of pickpockets and be assertive. Great place to find whatever you're looking for. I usually go there for fabrics

A cool place to hang out, it is one of the few places in Lomé to spend time, you can buy some souvenirs, or just enjoy browsing and meeting the locals if you speak French otherwise you will have a hard time finding someone to understand you, it is a safe place in a safe country, but it is not too clean.
