    Ajaccio is the seat of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ajaccio and Corsica South. It manages the ports of Ajaccio, Bonifacio, Porto-Vecchio, Propriano and the Tino Rossi marina. It also manages Ajaccio airport and Figari airport as well as the convention centre and the Centre of Ricanto.

  2. Ajaccio is the largest city and the birthplace of Napoléon on the island of Corsica. It offers a charming old town, a beautiful harbour, a mild climate and easy access to the Gulf of Sagone and its sandy beaches.

    • Ajaccio Market and Place Campinchi. The recently opened producers' hall is the place to go for foodies. Enjoy cold meats, wines, cheeses, pastries and cakes.
    • National Museum: Maison Bonaparte. As you stroll the streets of the city, you can’t help but notice that many monuments and streets are dedicated to the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
    • Palais Fesch Museum of Fine Arts and the Imperial Chapel. Recently renovated, the Palais Fesch holds "museum of France" status and brings together three major collections: Italian Masters, the Napoleonic Collection and Corsican painters.
    • Ajaccian Beaches. Ajaccio’s beaches can easily be reached from the city centre. Leave your car behind, and head to the sands by electric bike and scooter, spread your towel and relax in the sun.
    • Pointe de la Parata. On an island where stupendous natural spectacles are almost commonplace, Pointe de la Parata will still make you lost for words. This is a black granite promontory announcing the northern limit of the Bay of Ajaccio, near the end of a stubborn string of rocky apexes that continue offshore to create the Sanguinaires Islands.
    • Route des Sanguinaires. Pulling out from the south coast of Ajaccio is a seaside route that leads to Pointe de Parata. It incorporates the “Corniche Ajaccienne”, a raised, bending road that hugs the torturous contours of the rugged coast.
    • Musée Fesch. Ajaccio’s Museum of Fine Arts is named after Napoleon’s uncle, Joseph Fesch, who was archbishop of Lyon. In the early-1800s he founded this museum by donating his extravagant painting collection, and it constitutes one of the largest sets of Italian baroque and renaissance painting anywhere in France.
    • Maison Bonaparte. Napoleon’s birthplace is one of those attractions that is more about the significance of the place rather than what is there. Really, all you need to know is that you’re inspecting the home in which an epoch-maker was born on 15 August 1769.
  3. Ajaccio, on the west coast of Corsica, is encircled by wood covered mountains to the rear of the town, and the port and citadelle towards the sea, on the Gulf of Ajaccio. The town is popular with tourists for much of the year due to its consistently warm climate and its sheltered position.

  4. Ajaccio, Corsica's main city, is fun to visit at any time of year. But if you're a secret (or not-so-secret) Napoleon Bonaparte groupie, plan to be there on August 15 and join the celebration of the birthday of Ajaccio's most famous son.
