Napoleon Cave - Ajaccio France

[I object 2]

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.

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

Thanks for the information, anonmom.  Sounds like a plan for us.

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.
