You'll find a slightly French twist to some things in Togo: You can buy baguettes, for example, in Lome (the capital), and you can order them in French. But in general, the people who inhabit this tiny country on the coast of West Africa find most of their cultural expression closer to home. Togo offers sights and sounds that are truly West African: wonderful music, voodoo (vodun) ceremonies, delicious spicy cuisine and friendly people. Because of Togo's size, a week is enough to visit the entire country. Consider it a scale model of the larger West African nations.
