Antananarivo


This huge shop stocks anything and everything you could possibly want to bring back from Madagascar, from bottles of rhum arrangé (rum with macerated fruit) to leather goods, raffia baskets, hats and spices. The only thing you won’t find are gemstones. Prices are fixed but reasonable. It’s a short taxi ride from the centre (Ar10,000 one way). Card payments accepted.

It has recently expanded across the road.
