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. The headland is capped w...
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. It’s all about the views, out to the Sanguinaires Islands and over the best beaches in Ajaccio, like Plage de Marinella. On the way is ...
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. Cosmè Tura, Giovanni Bellini, Michelangelo, Ver...
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. The house has been decorated with Bonaparte family furniture, even if you have to use your imagination to pi...
At Ajaccio’s town hall is a richly-decorated gallery replete with sculptures, paintings, medals and engravings connected to Napoleon and donated to the city by the Bonaparte family up to 1936. The horde of art and memorabilia is so large that it overflows into the Fesch Museum. But the most riveting pieces are in town hall, where you can continue y...
There are more than 20 beaches in or near Ajaccio, mostly lively corners with transparent, smooth waters and white sands. You may feel the urge to break from the crowd and if so you can drive the 10 kilometres to the coast just north of Pointe de la Parata. Plage de Capo di Feno has a more savage beauty, with scrubland and forest, and a sandbar off...
Next to the town hall is an elongated square ringed by impressive old palm trees. There’s a familiar face to receive you: Raised on a pedestal looking along the square to the port is a marble statue of Napoleon in the guise of a Roman consul, sculpted by the Italian Massimiliano Laboureur. If you want to zip round Ajaccio’s sights in comfort you ca...
Back on the trail of Napoleon, Ajaccio cathedral is the church where the emperor was baptised on 21 July 1771. Not only that, but his mother Letizia started going into labour with him while attending the Mass of the Assumption on 15 August 1769. The marble font in which he was baptised is just inside the entrance. Aside from its relation to Napoleo...
Rise early on a summer morning and beat the heat for a trek above Ajaccio, with breathtaking coastal scenes. The trail zigzags up from the Bois des Anglais through the mastic shrub, cacti and wild olive undergrowth of the fabled Corsican maquis. After a time you’ll arrive at a sinister-looking granite boulder, named the Tête de Mort (Head of Death)...
Turtles and tortoises from five continents live in this sanctuary and research centre 20 kilometres northeast of Ajaccio.

The turtle hatchery and nursery is sure to make you smile; i...
