Do we still need to introduce Ajaccio? The city where Napoleon I was born, its gulf which has inspired the greatest writers and poets, its access to the famous Sanguinaires islands and the great site of La Parata, its Napoleonic monuments, its Chemin des Crêtes, which offers an extraordinary panorama: Ajaccio is the regional capital of Corsica and the county town of the département. Its main activity is tourism and administration. With 56,000 inhabitants, it is the island's largest city. Its main assets are its magnificent setting and exceptional climate. Even in winter, you can enjoy fine weather and the sea.

What to visit Ajaccio?

When to go to Ajaccio?

The cultural and patrimonial richness of Ajaccio assures a tourist attraction to the capital of Corsica all year round, with festivals, seminars and other festivities scheduled in all seasons. But of course it is the summer that sees the high tourist season when the sun shines and the sea temperature is pleasant. If you stay in Ajaccio in May and October, when the temperatures remain mild and there are fewer tourists, you will benefit from lower rates than in the height of summer. The least touristy months are November and January. But you are in a capital city, you do not suffer as inland from the closure of all tourist facilities. All in all, you can stay in Ajaccio whatever the season. Flights and ferries connecting the island to the mainland are less numerous, but still regular. Come during religious holidays, Christmas, Easter, Holy Week, to measure the popular fervor and the survival of traditions.
