What was the tower seen in stage 3 of Tour de France on Corsica?

score:9

Accepted answer

This looks like one of the Genoese towers, of which 67 still stand today. They are somewhat similar-looking and all are on the seacoast, so it may be a bit difficult to identify this particular tower without a doubt. You can compare the map of surviving towers with the route followed by the Tour β€”Β that only eliminates about half of them.

Tour de la Parata in Ajaccio looks very similar, so I guess that's the one. It's also one of the most famous ones. It's a local tourist attraction.
