Colonial
houses
There are areas in the very
center of Tunis that have not changed much since the colonial
times. Step out from the medina and you can stroll through
these streets lined with colonial buildings.
Tunis'
modern town was built up over relatively few years, and the
majority of houses in town centre belong to the period around
1900.
Though
the French have left and Tunisians have taken possession of
their city, many institutions like cafés, confectionery and
even ordinary shops live on from the colonial times, with the
same interior and type of service. This only adds to the charm
of the city.
