ACTUALLY,
there's not a lot to do in Taroudannt beyond soaking up the atmosphere. There are two
markets - one selling the usual tourist knick-knacks and the other a Berber market with
pots, pans and piles of brightly-coloured spices. The city lies on the Sousse plain, which
makes it ideal for cycling (bikes can be hired from two shops in the main square). One
popular route is a circuit around the city walls - or you can visit outlying villages such
as Tiout. |

Grandmother of Marrakesh
Taroudannt is called the "Grandmother of Marrakesh" because it is a scaled down,
slowed down town that resembles Marrakesh with its surrounding ramparts. But unlike
Marrakesh, Taroudannt contains almost the whole city within its walls. - Hip

Where the French didn't leave their
mark...
Taroudannt is one of the places least touched by the French, without being a remote
village. The ancient wall around it, is splendid. -
