Is it safe to walk from Endoume to Vieux Port at night?
Staying with a group of friends in Endoume and we all want to go out and party. It looks like Vieux Port is the closest area to us. Is it safe for us to walk home after drinking? Should we just uber instead? Anywhere cool for us to check out in Edoume? Thanks!
