In Côte d'Ivoire, the town of Korhogo paints famous woven fabrics, the Sénoufo are famous for their weaving, and Katiola is known for its pottery. People cook by open fire, manually transport water, use big communal bowls for kitchenware, and they walk instead of driving cars.

Most West African high school are in big cities or towns, so students leave home to further their studies. They live with other families or friends meanwhile.

A person's ethnicity can be identified by their name (Koffi and Adjoua are Baoulé names, Adama is a Sénoufo name).

French West Africans often have both an African and French first name.

A person's name is ordered: Family name, African first name, French first name.

For example: KOUASSI Adjoua Désirée; TRAORE Adama Eric.

Some Côte d'Ivoire families may send only 1 child to high school. When high school students have free time from their studies, they visit friends and family, play soccer, listen to music, or discuss news like marriages and baptisms.

Félix Houphouët-Boigny, or Papa Houphouët or Le Vieux, was Côte d'Ivoire's first president in 1960 (when the country became independent of France) until his death in December 1993. His agricultural support and cooperation with France sprouted economic prosperity. Yamoussoukro, the place of Houphouët-Boigny's funeral, is home to the Presidential Palace, la basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix (the world's largest basilica), and four-lane highways lined with trees and street lights.

Côte d'Ivoire transferred its capital from Abidjan to Yamoussoukro, former president Félix Houhpouët-Boigny's birthplace, in 1983. Abidjan's population and diversity has sprouted from hundreds to two million. It now has modern skyscrapers and European-style buildings in the Plateau and Cocody regions and African-style marketplaces in Treichville. The "melting pot" of Africa, Abidjan hosts 60 different ethnic groups of Côte d'Ivoire.
