Ziguinchor Artisans' Market
Marché artisanal
A craft village in the south of the city, where wood carvings, masks, musical instruments, basketry and galleries are concentrated, and where you can watch artisans at work.
The artisan market (Village artisanal) is located near the Alliance Franco-Sénégalaise. It consists of rows of workshops and small galleries selling Casamance-style wood carvings, masks, leather goods, hand drums, basketry, batik cloth and oil paintings, and some artisans carve on site. Prices are negotiable, and the same items are usually cheaper here than in Dakar. It is a convenient stop after visiting the cultural centre. If you buy large wood carvings, check the export and shipping requirements.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–19:00
