Overview
Welcome to Ajaccio - the birthplace of Napoleon! Join me for an engaging 1.5-hour guided walking tour through the historic old town of Corsica’s capital.
Did you know that Corsica had a democratic constitution before America? Or that Corsica has had both a British and a German king?
Together, we’ll discover the stories behind the statues, palaces, churches and revolutionaries that shaped this unique island. You will hear about the impact that Napoleon and his family have had on the city - and about his Corsican cousin that became his bitter enemy.
Whether you're stopping briefly in Ajaccio on a cruise or passing through during a longer trip in Corsica, this tour is a perfect way to start your visit to Ajaccio.
The places we will be visiting:
The Citadel
Saint Erasmus Church
Pasquale Paoli Statue
Palace Pozzo di Borgo
Ajaccio Cathedral
Saint Jean-Baptiste Church
Place Foch (Napoleon statue)
Hôtel de Ville
Place César Campinchi (War memorial statue)
Ajaccio Market
Palace Fesch
Looking forward to seeing you on the tour!
