Behind the square, the boulevard Paoli and the rue César-Campinchi form the retail spine of Bastia, extended by the rue Miot and the rue du Théâtre, where the municipal theatre stands. To the north, the quays of the new port handle the ferry links to mainland France and Italy, along the avenue Pierre-Giudicelli and the boulevard Général-Graziani, as far as the boundary with Toga.
