Napoleon's Birthplace
















This is the house where Napoleon Bonaparte was born. It is situated in the city of Ajaccio in Corsica. These shots were taken by my good friend and keen photographer Daniel Bouchard who lives in Tours France which is another city I worked in in the late seventies.
I was working in Corsica around '76 and I went to see this house. Unfortunately it was closed ( can you believe it, all the way to Corsica and it was closed ) but Daniel was there last week and took these photos. I would love to visit the house but I doubt that I will make it back to Corsica.
