When we visited Corsica, I couldn’t help but feel Napoleon’s presence everywhere in his hometown of Ajaccio. Walking through the city, we explored his childhood home, the Maison Bonaparte, and were fascinated by all the stories and history packed into the Salon Napoléonien museum. But what struck me the most was how Ajaccio blends its rich history with so much more. The town is full of stunning Italian Renaissance art, and I spent time just wandering, taking it all in. And the food—oh, the French cuisine! Every meal was an experience in itself. Ajaccio is this perfect mix of history, culture, and flavors that made my trip to Corsica truly unforgettable.
