Note: Treichville is a neighborhood in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. It is one of the 10 urban communes of the city. T is known as one of the most lively neighborhoods in Abidjan, especially around the Crossroad France-Amérique. The streets in Treichville do not have names but are numbered from 1 to 47. The commune is served by a railway station belonging to the RAN. The railway offers a passenger service to Ouagadougou, in Burkina Faso, which takes around 30 hours. The Autonomous Port of Abidjan is located in Treichville. Treichville's name comes from Marcel Treich-Laplène (1860–1890), who was a French resident in Ivory Coast. In March and April 2011, Treichville was caught up in the 2010–2011 Ivorian crisis and many people there were killed.
