Ajaccio

Tucked away in a cove in the gulf of Ajaccio, in the largest bay of the island, lies the regional capital, Ajaccio. Ajaccio, the most French of Corsican towns, is an elegant citadel in the heart of an impressive mountain cirque. Ajaccio is a town with two faces. As you walk through the streets of the old town, you will discover its rich history. Walk in the steps of Napoleon Bonaparte and let yourself be charmed by the superb museums and daily market, which offers a wide variety of produce. The beautiful town of Ajaccio is also renowned for its wonderful Iles Sanguinaires (Blood Islands) and its coastline, dotted with superb beaches and wild creeks, considered to be one of the most beautiful of its kind in the world. Bathed in the Mediterranean sun, Ajaccio is a real gem. It is both natural and urban, historic and charming and traditional and lively.
