General And Technological High School Fesch Liceu Generali È Tecnulugicu Fesch (Pass by)

This huge yellow building, which you're now walking along, is Fesch High School. In 1805, an imperial decree ceded this former Jesuit house to the city, which then converted it into a college.

Place de Gaulle (Pass by)

You are on the immense General de Gaulle square, delimiting the old town of the new districts of Ajaccio. The one that was called Place d’Arms at the time when the military used it for training is now commonly called Place Diamant.

Préfecture de Corse - Prifettura di Corsica (Pass by)

This beautiful yellow neoclassical building that you see in the middle of its tropical garden is the headquarters of the Prefecture of Corsica. Its construction was authorised by royal decree in 1822 and completed in 1830.

Cours Napoléon (Pass by)

You are on the Cours Napoleon, the main artery of the city centre. Designed by Napoleon I, this street was at the heart of his great project to beautify his hometown.

La Chapelle Imperiale (Pass by)

Let's talk about Cardinal Fesch here. You walked up his street and arrived in front of his statue, the museum named after him and the imperial chapel that he is owed. But who is this Cardinal?

Place Foch (Pass by)

Commonly known as the Place des Palmes, Marshal Foch’s Place was created at the beginning of the 19th century as the Check-out from the suburbs that led to the Old Town of Genoa. Overlooking the square, with his gaze fixed on the sea, stands the statue of Napoleon, guarded by a fountain with four lions lying down.

Maison Bonaparte (Pass by)

You certainly see a few people in this narrow street, it is normal, you arrive in front of Napoleon Bonaparte’s house. On August 15, 1769, the future French Emperor was born here.

Port Tino Rossi (Pass by)

Here you are at the old port of Ajaccio, the port Tino Rossi! Yes, the city did not see the birth only of Napoleon! It is an ideal place to taste the charms of Corsica.

Port Tino Rossi (Pass by)

The pier of the citadel, puts you nose to nose with the horizon. It is the ideal place to immortalise the old port. Located in the Gulf of Ajaccio, the port comprises 3 basins, separated by a cruising mole.

Cathedral Santa Maria Assunta (Pass by)

Do not trust its small size, this pretty baroque cathedral, with its ochre façade and its grey blue dome is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.

Eglise Saint Erasme (Pass by)

You now pass the small church of Saint-Erasme. This former Jesuit chapel was dedicated to the patron saint of sailors when it resumed worship after the Revolution.

Citadelle d'Ajaccio (Pass by)

You now have a good view of the silhouette of the citadel of Ajaccio that stands out on the sea. Know that since 2021, the citadel, for the first time in 5 centuries, is open to the public!

Plage Saint-Francois (Pass by)

Nothing like a bay to have a beautiful view of a beach. You have before you the beach Saint-François, bordered by its promenade of palm trees.

Casino Municipal - Casinò Municipali (Pass by)

You pass the Casino d’Ajaccio peacefully installed facing the bay. It deserves a moment’s attention, if only because it is the only casino in Corsica!

We find our sea view with the very popular Miot Square. This great advance on the Mediterranean is an ideal place to try your hand at panoramic shots and why not, at pétanque tournaments!

Place d'Austerlitz (Pass by)
