Benin is a country in West Africa. The postcard is sent from Parakou, the largest city in eastern Benin. The word Parakou means ‘a city for everyone’ and is derived from a local tribal word.
Some of the industries that are the foundation of Parakou’s economy are the cotton, textile and peanut oil industries.
Throughout Benin there are many open-air markets where people sell all kinds of goods, fruits and vegetables.
