Take a tour of Corsican Town of Bastia in Bastia, France - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The windy, sunny, and beautiful port and economic capital of the French island of Corsica, is the city of Bastia .
Once serving as the capital city, it is now then second largest city after the islands current capital.
The Genoese government of the 1300s built a stronghold in this locale to protect the city from storms.
Dominated by winding, narrow streets and vibrant colors; this city is known for its wine and spectacular views.
The city was briefly captured by the British during France's Revolutionary War, in 1794.
Sand and pebble beaches, along with the old harbor, are all easily accessible from Bastia.

Bastia is a city on the French island of Corsica. Bars and restaurants line the Old Port, with the twin-towered Church of St. Jean-Baptiste rising behind it. Terra Nova, a centuries-old citadel with ramparts, was built by Genoese rulers. Nearby is the Cathedral of Ste. Marie, filled with paintings and marble statues. The Governor’s Palace houses the Bastia Museum, showcasing the city’s history.
Filled with heart, soul and character, the bustling old port of Bastia is a good surprise. Sure, it might not measure up to the sexy style of Ajaccio or the architectural appeal of Bonifacio, but it has an irresistible magnetism. Bastia is an authentic snapshot of modern-day Corsica, a lived-in city that’s resisted the urge to polish up its image just to please the tourists. The historical neighbourhoods of Terra Vecchia and Terra Nova are especially vibrant – allow yourself a day to take in the sights and mosey around atmospheric streets and boutiques.
Bastia is a French commune in the Haute-Corse department of France located in the north-east of the island of Corsica at the base of Cap Corse. It also has the second-highest population of any commune on the island after Ajaccio and is the capital of the Bagnaja region and of the department. Bastia is the principal port of the island and its principal commercial town and is especially famous for its wines. Approximately 10% of the population are immigrants. The unemployment rate in the commune has persistently been one of the highest in France, standing at over 20% in 2004.
Located in the North-East of Corsica at the base of the Cap Corse, between the sea and the mountain, Bastia is the principal port of the island. The city is located 35 km (22 mi) away from the northern tip of the Cap Corse, 50 km (31 mi) west from Elba, an Italian island, and 90 km (56 mi) away from continental Italy which can be seen a few days per year when visibility is excellent.

Places to see in ( Niort - France )
Places to see in ( Niort - France )
Niort is a large town situated on the Sèvre river about half way between Poitiers and La Rochelle in the Poitou-Charentes region of western France. Niort has an interesting historical centre, with houses dating from the medieval and renaissance eras and also several monuments of interest to discover, as well as a substantial amount of more recent development - it is an important centre for local business and finance in this region of France.
The old and new parts of central Niort are separated by the large Place de la Breche. It is the historical centre that is of interest to visitors. Start your visit perhaps with a stroll across the bridge in the centre of Niort, which gives nice views across the town and the church as well as the donjon.
The Donjon, on the river banks in Niort, is a major part of a medieval castle and the most important monument in Niort that dominates the town centre. In part the donjon dates from the 12th century, when it was built in the roman style by Henry II (Henry Plantagenet) and Richard the Lionheart, and is one of the largest castles from this period that remains in France.
The building includes two adjacent donjons separated by a logis: the two donjons are similar in design but one is a few metres taller than the other, both have round towers in each corner. The views across Niort from the donjon terraces are a highlight of a visit, and there is also a Museum of Ethnology and Archaeology to visit in the building.
On an island in the river just across from the donjon you can see Fort Foucault, the tower of which is the remains of a 12th century castle. The Pilori is an interesting renaissance style building dating from the 14th century that was once the town hall for Niort. The building takes its name from the pillory that previously stood here. The whole building, in particular around the doors and windows, features decorative stonework. The pilori is now used as an exhibition center for local artists.
There are several churches in Niort of which the most important is the Church of Notre-Dame, built in the gothic style in the 14th-16th centuries. The tall spire of the church makes it the tallest building in the Deux-Sevres department. Also in Niort you will see the Church of Saint-André, a 19th century rebuilding of a medieval church that originally stood here and clearly identified by its two tall symmetrical spires; the small Church of Saint-Florent (roman style, 11th century) which has some unusual engravings inset in the church walls; and the Church of Saint-Etienne (19th century, built in neo-gothic style).
The Town hall in Niort is an imposing neo-renaissance style building with a large central campanile built at the end of the 19th century. The 19th century market hall, a large structure built in the glass and steel design that was popular at the time (1869). It is one of the most impressive market halls of this type in France, and the market itself has a very extensive range of fresh produce available. Markets are held here every day except Monday with those on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday being the largest.
Elsewhere as you explore Niort old town you will see several half-timbered houses dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. The Maison de la Vierge is particularly interesting because it has a statue of the Virgin and child in one corner. Next to te Niort Tourist Office on Rue Brisson you will enjoy exploring the many arts and craft shops along the Quai des Arts. If you are looking for presents to take away with you this is the place to find them.

Pour les curieux qui veulent en savoir plus, « Ma vie en van » est un projet commencé fin 2015 et qui aujourd’hui continue à m’amener à travers le monde et permet d'explorer qui je suis vraiment. « Ma vie en van » a une grande place dans ma vie et je filme beaucoup de mes aventures : vous pouvez me suivre dans mon voyage à travers l’Amérique du Nord, randonner, flotter sur lacs et rivières, observer la vie sauvage, et m'accompagner de ferme en ferme partout sur le continent pour en apprendre plus sur l'agriculture durable et comment faire pousser sa nourriture et plus généralement vivre en cohésion avec la terre, les animaux, et l'environnement, un projet de vie qui serait à mes yeux la suite logique de ma vie nomade.
Au cours des dernières années, j'ai écrit un livre sur la vie en van et ma redéfinition du travail, composé et enregistré un album à travers les États-Unis, adopté un banjo, appris à devenir berger et faire du fromage et wwoofé à travers le continent nord-américain de ferme en ferme, rencontré des figures inspirantes de la nouvelle vague de fermiers à travers une Amérique peu connue du grand public que je veux vous partager.
