Atimè is a small town in the Atlantique department of southern Benin, about 30 kilometers west of the capital, Porto Novo, in the southern plains of Benin, near coastal cities such as Ouidah. The region has a predominantly savannah climate, with agriculture as the mainstay, mainly growing cotton, maize, cassava and other crops, and local handicrafts are famous for traditional weaving and pottery making. Retaining some of the unique cultural traditions of southern Benin, Atieme regularly hosts traditional fairs and religious ceremonies to attract tourists from the surrounding area. As a microcosm of a West African rural community, Atieme is an important window into the culture of Benin's agrarian society as it showcases the daily life and folklore of the region.
