The Rue Princesse street is an area located in Yopougon, North Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire. Because of its wide variety of Maquis (open-pubs), bars, nightclubs and typical African restaurants mainly offering local dishes, this street has become one of the most famous places of celebration in Abidjan. Due to its strong musical and nightlife identity, it is considered the inspirational root for many Coupé Décalé artists. However, it is notoriously known as a prominent Red Light District with a high ratio of prostitutes.

Many international artists visited the "Rue Princesse" street as Singuila and Didier Drogba.
In 2011, the actual Côte d'Ivoire president, Alassane Ouattara launched a great campaign for the cleanliness of this street. Today it's still the "place to be" when celebrating in Abidjan.
