Located in the western region of Cameroon, the city of Foumban is only 70 km away from the capital of the region Bafoussam. Foumban is the capital of the Nun Department and Christianity and Islam are the main religions. With a population of 820,000 inhabitants and an area of 7700 km², it covers almost half of the western region. Thanks to its craftsmanship, Foumban enjoys an international reputation and is also known as the city of arts. Handicraft employs a good number of young people and is the main source of income for the population. Foumban has two major museums, the Palace Museum and the Museum of Arts. The Museum of Arts has more than three thousand works of art and historical pieces, some dating back over 600 years. They tell the story of the Bamoun people, one of the oldest kingdoms in Africa. Visitors will have the opportunity to contemplate the treasures, traditions, art and culture of the Bamoun Kingdom.
Agglomeration of more than one million inhabitants, Bafoussam has literally boosted its urban architecture and accommodation capacity. Between tradition and modernity, the regional capital of the West represents the highlands area . 
A succession of traditional buildings with bamboo walls and clods of earth; a picturesque architectural picture that can be interrupted almost every kilometer by a modern castle surrounded by a high wall of concrete or iron. It is the contrasting landscape that Bafoussam visitors discover from Yaoundé (nearly 300 km away) or from Douala (268 km away). Entering this very commercial city-crossroads of the "Grass fields" area, you can admire the plains and valleys of red earth, bordered by family plantations on both sides of beautiful asphalt roads. The fruit of this labor, in terms of fresh food, is sold all along the main road and in the many always busy markets in the region.
The chiefdoms and traditional monuments are legion in Bafoussam and its surroundings, in a region of West Cameroon where the ancestral culture based on the sacred is almost a religion. In the heart of downtown Bafoussam itself, the chiefdom of the Fussap (people who gave its name to the city) with its entrance wall topped with conical roofs is already worth a detour. Not far away is the great Bandjoun chiefdom and its royal museum, showing more than 600 precious objects of local art. At the Bangou chiefdom, it exhibits the remains of the first car bought by a Bamileke leader long before Cameroon’s independence.
Alongside its working populations attached to their heritage enhancement, the Bafoussam area is also a gift of nature, as evidenced by the panoramic view of mountain ranges and rivers, many of which have waterfalls. Lake Baleng which is impressively calm and inhabited by a colony of ducks is a definite place to visit.
