Corsica
If you are a French history lover, you must come to Corsica! This island located on the Mediterranean might be a part of France, but it possesses a proud identity and presence on its own.
Everyone who is aware of French history would love to discover the birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte. Indeed, Bonaparte was born in Ajaccio – Corsica’s capital city in 1769. Furthermore, statues and street names can be found everywhere and provide a constant reminder of his legacy. The Bonaparte House, Napoléon’s family house, even became a national museum.
Discover a unique city – Bonifacio, a city divided in two parts and located on the South part of the island. Vieille Ville is on the harbourside where most people live while Haute Ville is set within a cliff-top citadel from the 9th century. By walking through its narrow streets, you will be amazed by its shady squares and landscapes.
