Treichville

Treichville is one of four communes of Abidjan that are entirely south of Ébrié Lagoon, the others being Port-Bouët, Koumassi, and Marcory.

Treichville is known as one of the most lively neighborhoods in Abidjan, especially around the Crossroad France-Amérique.

The railway offers a passenger service to Ouagadougou, in Burkina Faso, which takes around 30 hours.

Treichville's name comes from Marcel Treich-Laplène (1860–1890), who was a French resident in Ivory Coast.

In March and April 2011, Treichville was caught up in the 2010–2011 Ivorian crisis and many people there were killed.
