14April Ajaccio Corsica, France

It is actually pronounced as Ah jah show
It was Saturday morning when local market is on until 1pm





Ham, formage, olives and Corsican traditional bread and sweets were fascinating us.
Local specialty here is nougat and market venders are all nice and generous in free sample




Nice beach promenade around the corner of fortress La Citadelle
Napoleon statue as Caesar with his 4 brothers




We found a small restaurant tucked in a small lane outside of town center called Columba
We ordered mussel cooked in wine and garlic as well as another mussel dish cooked in cream and cognac.
The combination of good French bread dipped in mussel sauce was so good that any words cannot be describable
Two dishes of mussel and a grilled king prawn dish was more than enough for 4 people








Another statue of Napoleon in town center where market was on
Souvenir shop next to the house where Napoleon was born in 1769


Quite short bed in Maison de Napoleon. He was indeed a short guy.
