Villages with character
Welcome to Ajaccio, a temperament as mild as its temperatures.
Its name alone evokes Dolce Vita, sun-drenched terraces, lively streets leading down to the fishing and yachting harbors with their Corsican accents, the shade of palm trees and an Empire spirit. Ajaccio, the hectic, central "capital of the south", knows how to adorn itself with gentleness and authenticity, and abounds in heritage treasures.
