Silver Spirit Cruise PhotosFrom: Silver Spirit Cruise Review Ajaccio (2)
Ajaccio's business district had souvenir and food shops with Napoleonic themes...
...and another souvenir store for fans of Corsican blood feuds.
It also had shops of a less dictatorial or incisive nature,
such as ice-cream shops, clothing boutiques, and department stores.
As proprietors of the Venice for Visitors travel site, we were intrigued by a shop named "Venice."
Peering down a narrow and steep side street, we caught a glimpse of Silver Spirit in the Port de Commerce.
A fleet of vintage Citroën 2CVs drove through downtown Ajaccio. (We learned later that they were in Corsica on a club outing.)
A dog crossed the busy street without incident, and two other dogs socialized on a streetcorner with their human pets.
A building with wrought-iron balconies reminded us of the French Quarter in New Orleans.
A café-bar offered tropical fruit drinks, which appeared to the the Corsican version of American-style slushies or Italian granita.
We even caught the tail end of a wedding at the Mairie.
