What you can expect

  • The experience begins in front of the statue of Napoleon in Place Saint-Nicolas, then continues through the Genoese streets, the Old Port and the Citadel. Immerse yourself in everyday life and admire the architecture that forms the soul of Bastia.

    As you walk along, each stop brings to life surprising stories, sometimes funny, sometimes moving: tensions between brotherhoods, forgotten tragedies, smuggling in the harbour, popular beliefs and figures who have left a profound mark on Bastia's history. With a mix of emotion, wonder and moments of laughter, this experience immerses you in a vibrant, sensitive and deeply human Bastia.

    This experience takes place mainly outdoors in the historic streets of Bastia. Admission to the churches and monuments mentioned during the tour is free, optional, and can be done independently by guests who wish to do so.

    Conceived as an elegant and intimate cultural experience, this tour offers a privileged look at Bastia.
