Life in Abidjan

Hello everyone,
I'll probably be living in Abidjan next year because a French company is offering me a job opportunity. I spent two weeks in Abidjan for work this year but I did not have time to enjoy "local people lives". Is it okay to live in Abidjan ? How is every day life for European people ? Is it safe ? in which neighborhood is it better to live ? what do you do during your weekends ? is it easy to work in Abidjan ? is it hard to drive their ?
I am French by the way but I like speaking English and other languages (Spanish, Portuguese) so if I am in Abidjan next year, I will be happy to meet English speaking people there !
Thanks a lot for your advise and your every day life tips !

To answer your question, I would say despite the post conflict situation, the country is safe, and it is a nice place to live and work. For expats, I will advice you look for apartment at these areas: Bietry, Boulevard de Marseille, Cocody-Riviera, Deux Plateaux, Angré, Plateau.

Enjoy your stay in Abidjan

Best regards,

Ignace
