What you can expect

The experience begins in front of the statue of Napoleon on Place Saint-Nicolas, then continues through the Genoese streets, the Old Port, and the citadel. Immerse yourself in the heart of 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 people who have profoundly shaped Bastia's history. Between emotion, wonder, and moments of laughter, this experience immerses you in a vibrant, sensitive, and deeply human Bastia.

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

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