Here is one for you that I can be assured no one except our resident Ajaccio member would know off hand.

There is a street in Ajaccio named after an American President. Do you know which president?

Too easy... Kennedy has streets named after him everywhere.... I'd venture to say even in North Korea... jk.

That's right. The streets official name is Av Du Président Kennedy.

If you use Google Earth it is in about two or three blocks west of the small boat docks at the northern end of the harbor. It runs east to west BTW.

And of course the school of dance Alizée attended is on that street.
