Abidjan Plateau by Night
I photographed Le Plateau district of Abidjan by night.
Through these long-exposure photographs, I particularly wanted to pay tribute to this district, with its emblematic bridges and buildings that magnificently surround the Félix Houphouët-Boigny stadium, nicknamed the Félicia.
Le Plateau symbolises the unity and grandeur of the Ivorian nation.
The Félix-Houphouët-Boigny stadium, nicknamed "Le Félicia", is the first national multifunctional stadium (football, rugby, athletics) in Côte d'Ivoire, named after the first President of Côte d'Ivoire, Félix Houphouët-Boigny. Located in the Plateau district of Abidjan, it has a capacity of around 29,000 spectators. It hosts matches for the Ivorian football team, as well as some matches in the national football championship.
The Alassane Ouattara Bridge is a cable-stayed road bridge in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. It links the communes of Cocody and Plateau. It is the city's fifth bridge.

The Cathédrale Saint-Paul, awash in all its glory, stands out against the Abidjan night sky. This photograph, captured in long exposure, reveals the architectural details of the minor basilica.
The cathedral was built by Italian architect Aldo Spirito in Abidjan on the initiative of President Félix Houphouët-Boigny. The foundation stone of the cathedral was blessed on 11 May 1980 by Pope John Paul II during his first pastoral visit to Côte d'Ivoire.
