Origin and history
The Mattei boutique, located in Bastia, Corsica, is an iconic 19th century historical monument. Founded in 1872 by Louis-Napoléon Mattéi, it is inseparable from the creation of Cap Corse aperitif, a drink that marked local history. The place kept its original layout, offering a rare testimony of the shops of the period, with its facades and interior spaces protected by a ministerial decree.
The registration for the Historical Monuments, which took place in 2016 and modified in 2018, covers the original architectural and commercial elements, including spaces open to the public. These protections highlight the heritage importance of the site, linked to both its preserved architecture and its role in Bastia's economic history. The boutique thus embodies 19th century Corsican artisanal and commercial know-how.
Although the sources mention an approximate location on Boulevard du Général de Gaulle, geographical accuracy remains limited (level 5/10 according to available data). No information is provided on its current accessibility or possible tourist functions, such as visits or ancillary services.
