Your visit will begin with the prestigious Fesch Museum, one of the finest Fine Arts museums in France, renowned for its rich collection of Italian paintings from the Renaissance to the Baroque period, assembled by Cardinal Joseph Fesch, Napoleon’s uncle. The discovery will continue with the Imperial Chapel of Ajaccio, an elegant neoclassical chapel housing the tombs of the Bonaparte family, bearing witness to the city’s imperial history. As you stroll down Rue Fesch towards the covered market, you will experience the atmosphere of the Marcatu, its producers, and the local figures of the “Spaziu Paesanu.” There, you will be welcomed by a chef passionate about local produce, for an immersion into the heart of Ajaccio life, followed by a gourmet break in the form of a spuntino: a tasting of Corsican specialties, including PDO charcuterie, aged cheeses, and delicious zucchini or leek fritters, prepared in the spirit of local traditions and accompanied by a glass of Ajaccio AOC wine. This convivial moment will be enriched with anecdotes and stories about the history of the market and the island’s culinary traditions.
