NApp Ajaccio

Napp Ajaccio is a digital tool to accompany the discovery of the Napoleonic heritage of the city of Ajaccio, birthplace of the emperor Napoleon I. The App drives you on Napoleon’s footsteps and through the places of his childhood and to the sites and testimonies that the city of Ajaccio has dedicated to its most famous citizen. It offers a «Map» modality that works like a GPS and a compass modality (Napocompass) that allows a freer stroll while telling you the site closest to your location. Finally, it also allows to follow the route of the marking on the ground present in the city and indicated by golden arrows. Napp Ajaccio has been developed in the context of the project GrITAccess or Grand Tyrrhenian Accessible. The project is the result of the collaboration of 14 partners from the 5 regions of the transboundary space, most of them have already collaborated on previous programming projects such as Itercost, For Access, Bonesprit, Arcipelago Mediterraneo and Accessit. Its objective is to initiate the implementation of various forms of the cultural heritage of this large territory within the framework of local thematic routes and routes within a large cross-border route, for the development of tourism which makes the cultural heritage accessible to the greatest number and which enhances it economically. GrITAccess project has been financed by the Interreg Italy-France Maritime Program 2014-2020 is a cross-border program co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) within the framework of the European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) objective. It aims to achieve the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth in the Maritime Italy-France border area.
