Les îles sanguinaires

Exceptional natural setting

Ajaccio enjoys a spectacular natural environment. The city stretches along a gulf with crystal-clear waters, bordered by idyllic beaches such as Trottel Beach or Porticcio Beach opposite. At the end of the gulf, the Sanguinaires archipelago offers a picture-postcard view. This group of four red rock islets, just 1 km from the coast, is classified as a Natura 2000 site for the richness of its fauna and flora.

Cultural richness and heritage

Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, still proudly bears the emperor’s mark. You can visit the Maison Bonaparte, the family home that has been turned into a museum, and see statues and squares named in his honor. Ajaccio's heritage does not stop there: the old town is home to the Baroque cathedral where Napoleon was baptized, a 16th-century citadel by the sea, and the Fesch Museum—one of the richest fine arts museums in the provinces, founded by Napoleon's uncle. Here you can admire Italian Renaissance paintings and a unique Napoleonic collection.

Atmosphere and quality of life

In Ajaccio, a relaxed lifestyle and friendly atmosphere are the order of the day. The capital of Southern Corsica retains the atmosphere of a small Mediterranean town where people take their time. Stroll along the seaside boulevard, linger on a terrace overlooking the boats in the marina, or sip a coffee at Place Foch in the middle of the colorful market. The locals are warm and proud of their city, always ready to share a good tip or chat about the sunny weather.

Local lifestyle and cuisine

Booking a flight from Rennes to Ajaccio also means discovering the delicious Corsican cuisine. The city is full of traditional restaurants and markets where you can sample the island's local delicacies. Famous charcuterie (prisuttu, coppa, figatellu, etc.), sheep's or goat's cheese such as brocciu, maquis honey, olive oil and PDO wines from Ajaccio will delight your taste buds. Be sure to try Ajaccio's specialties: wild boar stew marinated in maquis herbs, Bonifacio-style eggplant, or pulenda (chestnut flour polenta) served with melted cheese. When it comes to sweet treats, fiadone (brocciu and lemon cake) and canistrelli (dry biscuits) are a must.

Easy access to other treasures of Corsica

Ajaccio is an ideal gateway for exploring Corsica. Within a few miles, you can reach the surrounding paradise beaches: to the south, the unspoiled coves of Isolella or the large beach of Porticcio; to the north, the Sanguinaires road leads to small secret beaches at the foot of the maquis. Mountain lovers can drive an hour to the heart of the Corsica Regional Nature Park, near Vizzavona, to hike in the forest or visit waterfalls. Picturesque Corsican villages surround Ajaccio—for example, Greek-inspired Cargèse or Piana with its famous red granite cliffs (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site) are only a two-hour drive away and well worth the trip.

Explore Ajaccio: The Corsican way of life

Beyond its beaches and landscapes, Ajaccio charms visitors with its authentic local life. A stroll along the marina, with its colorful boats and lively terraces, reflects the Mediterranean atmosphere. In the morning, lose yourself in the central market on Place Foch: between artisanal charcuterie, Corsican cheeses, and fragrant citrus fruits, you'll be immersed in a world of flavors.

The old center of Ajaccio, with its narrow streets lined with pastel-colored facades, small shaded squares, and friendly cafés, embodies the charm of the south. It is a city on a human scale where everything can be done on foot: stroll from the market halls to the cathedral, walk down to the port, or reach urban beaches such as Saint-François Beach in just a few minutes.
