With a population of just 83,496, Taroudannt is a sleepy market town that lacks the excitement of Morocco's larger cities. The historic medina and 6-8 kilometer long city walls may impress tourists, but the bureaucracy and stifling summer heat are persistent headaches for residents. After centuries of political upheaval, the city finally came under French control in 1917, though local chieftains continued to challenge central authority even into the early 20th century. Taroudannt is best suited for those seeking a slower pace of life and a taste of Morocco's traditional culture, though it offers little in the way of economic opportunities or modern amenities.
