Tiagba with its traditional houses on stilts and dug-out canoes

Tiagba is a lake village and commune in the Ébrié Lagoon of Côte d'Ivoire, known for its traditional houses built on stilts.^[1] It is also a prime tourist attraction in Côte d'Ivoire because of its individuality. Tiagba has long been a favorite with tourists, especially after their indulgences in the upscale destinations such as Ébrié Lagoon and the Lagunes Region. The village affords such quaint activities as pirogue (canoe) rides and staying nights in the old houses that stand on the lakeside on stilts.
