Ganvié is located on the lower Southern part of Benin and is built on the Lake Nokoué. The name “Ganvié” comes from the Fon language and it means literally “We’ve survived”. It has about 20,000 habitants in approximately 3,000 homes that all built on a stilt water. Ganvié came into existence during the Portuguese invasion looking for slaves. Those living in a town which is now called Cotonou fled and took refuge far away from land and built the now called Ganvié. In the Fon religious beliefs, it was forbidden for any raiders to approach anyone living near water (or perhaps couldn’t swim), therefore making it a perfect escape and refuge for this group of Beninese people to create a safe community on water. - Ganvié, Benin |
