Ajaccio Walking Tour

Ajaccio, France

Why Walk Ajaccio

Ajaccio is inseparable from Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born here in 1769 in a modest house that is now a museum. The city wraps around a beautiful bay, with the Genoese citadel guarding the harbor and the old town's narrow streets climbing behind. The Fesch Museum, founded by Napoleon's uncle, holds one of France's finest collections of Italian Renaissance paintings. Beyond the city, the Sanguinaires Islands glow red at sunset and the Corsican maquis begins at the city's edge.
