We begin our private city tour at the Citadel of Ajaccio, the historical origin of the city. There you will learn how the Genoese founded Ajaccio in 1492 and why Corsica played a key strategic role in the Mediterranean for centuries.

Ajaccio is not just about buildings and squares – the soul of the city lies in the stories of its inhabitants, past and present generations. As we stroll through the Old Town and its historic squares, we encounter figures from Corsican history, including Danielle Casanova, Pasquale Paoli, Charles-André Pozzo di Borgo, and of course Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born in Ajaccio. In doing so, we will discover, among other things, Rue Bonaparte, Maison Bonaparte, and other places closely linked to the city's history.

Our route continues to the Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral, Place Foch, and through the historic streets of the old town. Along the way, you will gain insights into the culture, traditions and present-day life of the people of Ajaccio, as well as the culinary specialties of Corsica. You will learn how Ajaccio evolved over the centuries from a Genoese fortress to a vibrant Mediterranean city.
