Grand Popo is a town on the Atlantic coast of Benin. It grew around the slave trade, but coastal erosion has now destroyed most of the old town. The town is now a centre for voodoo and home to a Finnish – African cultural centre, Villa Karo. The town’s main industry is fishing.
The town inspired the name of the French electronic music duo Grand Popo Football Club.
