I object 2 Posted August 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Looking for "yays" or "nays" for the Napoleon cave cultural experience in Ajaccio. It sounds interesting, but if it's actually in a cave, this claustrophobic cruise will need to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonmom Posted September 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) The actual cave is very small and it is roped off. You just look at it and take pictures in front of it. The experience is not claustrophobia-inducing at all. We did not pay for the tour, we just walked there from the ship. Google "la grotte Napoleón" in maps if you want to see the way beforehand. Otherwise just head up in to town from the docks. It is a 20 minute walk, uphill but not a serious hike, and there are signs pointing the way. We didn't Google it beforehand and we got there just fine. When you get to the pyramid with the statue of Napoleon, just veer left, it is basically embedded in the pyramid on that side. After we saw the statue and the cave, we walked back down to the sea. There are very clearly marked bus stops for the number 5 bus. Take it away from the port to the last stop and you will find a nice area to hike and see sea views. Then take the 5 back again. The last stop in that direction is the port Edited September 30, 2022 by anonmom typos/add info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare carlmm Posted October 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2022 This is it. Allegedly young N played here. Allright. We were taken there last week when hefty rainfalls made the planned excursion to further parts of the island impossible. A couple of rocks in town. IMHO nothing to see and not worth any kind of effort to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
