Rue Princesse

The Rue Princesse street is an area located in Yopougon, North Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire. Because of its wide variety of Maquis (open-pubs), bars, nightclubs and typical African restaurants mainly offering local dishes, this street has become one of the most famous places of celebration in Abidjan.^[1] Due to its strong musical^[2] and nightlife identity, it is considered the inspirational root for many Coupé Décalé artists. However, it is notoriously known as a prominent Red Light District with a high ratio of prostitutes.^[3]

International artists such as Singuila and Didier Drogba have visited the "Rue Princesse" street.

In 2011, the president of Côte d'Ivoire, Alassane Ouattara launched a great campaign for the cleanliness of this street.
