NEIGHBOURHOOD
(admission CFA1000)
Bobo's historical centre is a thriving neighbourhood. Little has changed
over the centuries in terms of organisation: Muslims,
griots
(traditional caste of musicians
or praise singers), blacksmiths and 'nobles' (farmers) still live in their respective quarters
but happily trade services and drink at the same
chopolo
(millet beer) bars.
Guided tours are not official, but are unavoidable in practice - allow CFA2000 to
CFA3000. They offer a great insight into local life, although the compulsory craft-shop
stops are tedious.
