New hypermarche opens

Today, Hypermarche Erevan opened near the airport in Cotonou. Oh my gosh - I have never seen ANYTHING like it in West Africa - it is something straight out of Europe selling everything a European hypermarket would sell, only with less fresh fruit. I didn't have my camera with me, but I found these photos on the internet of the hypermarche under construction, which gives you some idea of the size of the place:


If I remember rightly, opening hours are 1000 to 1400 and 1600 to 2000 weekdays; 1000 to 2100 on Saturdays and 0900 to 1300 on Sundays. I'll try to take some photos and post them asap. Olly
