The city's economy is predominantly agricultural, producing palm oil, maize and cassava. It is located in the southern plains of Benin and has a savannah climate with distinct dry and rainy seasons.

La Réunion, a French overseas region in the western part of the Indian Ocean, is not an independent country, but is known for its volcanic landscapes and biodiversity. The island is rich in bamboo forests, mainly along the southeastern coast and in the central plateau, creating a unique green landscape. The natural bamboo forests around the "Rivière des Bamboo" are particularly spectacular, with tall rigid bamboos, rainforests and waterfalls, making it a popular destination for eco-trekking and photography. The bamboo forest is not only an important part of the local ecosystem, but also bears the imprint of Réunion's multiculturalism, demonstrating the natural charm and ecological value of the French island.
