where is cotonou benin republic if in africa where give me place on the web to look?

Answer 1

Cotonou is on the Atlantic coast of the Republic of Benin (9 degrees 30 minutes North latitude, 2 degrees 15 minutes East longitude) in Western Africa, bordering the Bight of Benin, between Nigeria and Togo. Cotonou is approximately 15 miles south-west on Benin's capital, Porto-Novo.

Cotonou is the economic capital of Benin, as well as its largest city. Its official population count was 761,137 inhabitants in 2006; however, some estimates indicate its population may be as high as 1.2 million. In addition to being Benin's largest city, it houses many of its government and diplomatic services; thus, it is Benin's de facto capital, even though the official capital is Porto-Novo. The city is best known as a major port, thanks to the Autonomous Port of Cotonou; it is also home to an airport and a railway ghat links to Parakou.

Answer 2

I just did a quick search on google maps - I had to pan out in order to get a better sense, but Cotonou is located at the southern tip of Benin, which is west of Nigeria.
