Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Ajaccio
Ajaccio is the capital of Corsica, a French island in the Mediterranean Sea. A port city on the rugged isle's western coast, it was the birthplace of French Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte in 1769. His ancestral home, Maison Bonaparte, is now a museum displaying family heirlooms. The baroque, 16th-century Notre-Dame Cathedral, where Napoléon was baptized, contains paintings by Delacroix and Tintoretto.
On the west coast of Corsica, Ajaccio (population about 50,000) is the capital of corsica. The town has wood covered mountains circling it to the rear, and the port and citadelle towards the sea, on the Gulf of Ajaccio. This combination means that the climate in Ajaccio remains mild even during the winter months - hence the town is popular with tourists for much of the year around.
Ajaccio has its origins in a Roman town that was located on the hill just to the north of the present town, and numerous ruins and artefacts have been uncovered from this earlier occupation. Ajaccio's more recent claim to fame is as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. This will not escape your attention on a visit to the town, as you pass the house where he was born - now the National Bonaparte Museum; the caves where he played; and statues of Napoleon and streets and places named in his honour. Perhaps the most impressive monument is the one in the Jardins de Casone.
The centre of Ajaccio is based around the 16th century citadel (still in military use, so not open to the public), and spreads west and north of the citadel into the town. This 'old town' part of Ajaccio includes the Place Bonaparte, the cathedral, Rue Cardinal Fesch and continues up to and around Place Marechal Foch near the seafront, and is the part that is of most interest to visitors. Exploring the old town you will find picturesque pastel painted houses along narrow streets, and an extensive choice of cafes and shops, many of the upmarket variety.
The 16th century baroque style is quite modest for a town of this size. The most notable highlight inside the cathedral is a painting called 'The triumph of Religion' by Delacroix. Note that it was in Ajaccio cathedral, the Cathedrale Notre Dame de la Assomption, that Bonaparte was baptised (you can still see the marble font where it happened). Another religious monument of note in Ajaccio is the Church of Saint-Rock (on Cours Napoleon), built in the 19th century in a neoclassical style. Place Foch especially is a very popular place to sit under the shady trees in the square and do some people-watching.
As with most Corsican sea-facing towns the harbour in Ajaccio is also a popular place for a promenade, lined with palm trees and a good choice of cafes. Further along you get to the port where the Corsica ferries come in as well as some private yachts that look nearly as large. The old town, around Place Marechal Foch, has narrow streets lined with attractive, typically Mediterranean, houses and is very picturesque. It is also here that you can see (and visit if you are so inclined) Napoleons birthplace.
There are a large number of cafes, bars and restaurants around Ajaccio, and it is in these that you will find the true town - the laid-back casual approach to life that Ajaccio seems to adopt so well.
The rest of central Ajaccio merits an explore as well, to see the grand prefecture (local government office) in the 19th century Palais Lantivy, the Quartier des Etrangers ('foreigners quarter') and the 19th century town hall.
There is also a high quality beach along the coast in Ajaccio. If you follow the seafront promenade you will find other, usually quieter, beaches further along. Along the seafront are also children's parks, petanque areas, skate parks and outdoor gym equipment. Located 200 metres north of Place Foch, the Fesch Museum has a highly regarded collection of Italian Renaissance paintings, originally collected by Napoleon's uncle.

Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Propriano
Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Propriano
The coastal town of Propriano is found on the coast of south-west Corsica, at the head of the Valinco Gulf and north-west of Sartene. It is about halfway between the major towns of Ajaccio to the north and Bonifacio to the south. Much of the building in Propriano dates from the early 19th century, when the port was established and most of the town constructed. Although the same location had previously been occupied by the Romans and Greeks little remains of early Propriano, which was frequently attacked and mostly destroyed by pirates during the 18th century.
The most imposing monument in Propriano is the Church of Notre Dame de la Misericorde which dominates the center of the small town. Elsewhere in Propriano, the harbour contains a fascinating combination of exclusive yachts and more modest fishing boats (there is a pleasure port and also a commercial port in the center of Propriano). Wander around the harbour for some of the best views of the town.
The town centre is largely one long main street which is pleasant to explore with the traditional houses now often taken over by luxury shops, cafes and bars. It is now a popular resort in Corsica due to the numerous beaches that are close to hand for visitors to Propriano, including the Plage de Lido one kilometre from the town. As you can imagine boat trips and fishing trips are some of the main activities and you can also go quad biking or parachuting in the area.
The coast north of the town is built up however, and it can be a challenge to escape from the crowds. It is also true to say that there are few places of interest to visit nearby compared to some areas. Ferries to both Sardinia and mainland France operate from the town marina.

La Grotte immergée au-dessus de Bastia - EXPLORATION CORSE - Janvier 2018
N'oubliez pas de vous abonner à la chaîne et un petit pouce en l'air si vous aimez.
Une nouvelle exploration avec Tony aujourd’hui, deux grottes, dont une immergée. C’est un copain de Tony qui nous a indiqué l’endroit, relativement caché, une première grotte recouverte au sol semble t il de sel, la grotte est assez profonde, elle n’est pas naturelle, mais a été creusé dans la roche. Des traces de pics sont visibles sur les parois, et le sol est encadré de petite brique. Une deuxième cavité à coté accessible derrière une porte métallique, donne accès à un long tunnel immergée, nous avons pu filmer que le début à l’entrée, car la profondeur ne permet pas d’y accéder sans un équipement de plongeur. C’est très étonnant et en faisant quelques recherches, je n’ai rien trouvé sur Internet qui mentionne le site.
J’ai analysé au microscope le sol de la grotte, il est recouvert sur environ 1 cm de petits cristaux blancs comme du sel. Les cristaux de sel ressortent sous forment de petite parallélépipèdes au microscope, là on est plus sous la forme d’hydrogénocarbonate de calcium.Donc le sol au-dessus de la grotte sert de filtre géant laissant le calcium passé et se concentré au sol.
