Already very frequented by tourists, because it is a high place of memory of slavery and voodoo worship, the city of Ouidah is also preparing to welcome works of art as part of the operation - engaged by France - restitution of cultural property looted during colonization.

No date yet for the return of the works, but the city intends to take the opportunity to promote its museum heritage.

Qemal Affagnon is with us this morning in “La Vie ici”.
