This time I'm archiving the photos on Flickr, though it is currently blocked in China.

The itinerary of this Napoleonic (and Nelsonic) grand tour was as follows:
  • Nice
  • Toulon, to visit the forts seized by Napoleon in the famous siege
  • Montenotte, Napoleon's first battle as a general in 1796, in the campaign against Austria and Savoy
  • Cosseria, location of a ruined castle where intense fighting took place immediately after Montenotte in the 1796 campaign
  • Dego, just down the hill from Montenotte
  • Marengo, site of one of Napoleon's most notable battles, from the 1800 against Austria
  • Pavia, site of a pivotal 1525 battle in which French King Francois I was taken prisoner
  • Lodi, site of Napoleon's victory over the Austrians in 1796
  • Mantua, city that was cornerstone of Austria's defense of Northern Italy in 1796, besieged by Napoleon
  • Solferino-Castiglione, decisive battle in 1796 where Napoleon and his generals prevented an effort to relieve the siege of Mantua, and also home to the decisive battle of the 1859 Franco-Piedmontese defeat of Austria that ultimately set in motion the unification of Italy
  • Rivoli-Veronese, site of Napoleon's victory over another Austrian force seeking to relieve Mantua in 1796
  • Arcole, where Napoleon was nearly killed in an unsuccessful effort to storm a bridge
  • San Marino, micro-nation
  • Porto Ferraio, Elba, home to Napoleon for less than a year
  • Savona, pretty port city
  • Cagnes-sur-Mer, Riviera town
  • Antibes, home to the Fort Carre, where Napoleon may have spent several nights in jail during the French Revolution
  • Cannes and Golfe Juan
  • Frejus and Saint-Raphael, where Napoleon arrived from Corsica from Egypt, and from whence he departed for Elba on the Undaunted.
  • Menton, Riviera town
  • Bastia, Corsican walled town besieged by Nelson and Hood in 1796 during the British assault on Corsica
  • Saint-Florent, a small town and inlet where the British fleet often anchored during the occupation of Corsica and activities in the Mediterranean
  • Calvi, another Corsican walled town besieged by Nelson during the 1796 British assault on Corsica; Nelson was injured while placing artillery in the hills overlooking town, and subsequently lost his eyesight in one eye as a result
  • Ajaccio, Napoleon's birthplace
