Le Plateau Abidjan by Night by Miléquêm Diarassouba, Photojournalist West Africa
Miléquêm Diarassouba Photographer Côte d'Ivoire presents Abidjan by Night, a captivating series of long-exposure shots showcasing the unique beauty of the Plateau district. This collection highlights the Pont Alassane Ouattara, also known as the Pont de Cocody, a stunning cable-stayed bridge and a prominent monument in Abidjan.
Through these night photographs, I pay tribute to the Plateau district, featuring its iconic bridges and towering buildings that majestically embrace the Félix Houphouët-Boigny stadium, affectionately known as the Félicia.
The Plateau stands as a symbol of unity and grandeur for Côte d’Ivoire, its illuminated skyline reflecting the vibrant spirit and resilience of the nation against the night sky. Join me in celebrating Abidjan by Night through the enchanting lens of night photography.

In addition to the stunning Abidjan by Night views of the Alassane Ouattara Bridge and other iconic landmarks in Le Plateau, it is equally fascinating to observe these majestic structures during daylight. The Alassane Ouattara Bridge, for instance, reveals its sleek modern silhouette in a different light during the day, offering a fresh perspective on this architectural marvel. These daytime images complement the Abidjan by Night series and provide viewers with a complete vision of the beauty and significance of this bridge in Abidjan’s landscape, both by day and by night.
