Ajaccio's must-sees

From a history-rich old town to unspoilt nature, Ajaccio is best explored on foot and in the open air. Here are a few stops not to miss.

Maison Bonaparte

The Bonaparte House

Visit the family home where Napoleon was born in 1769, now a national museum tracing the Emperor’s early years.
Les Îles Sanguinaires

The Sanguinaires Islands

This wild archipelago off the Gulf of Ajaccio offers one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Mediterranean, best discovered by boat or from the Pointe de la Parata.
Musée Fesch

The Fesch Museum

Nicknamed the “Little Louvre of Corsica”, it houses one of the richest collections of Italian paintings in France.
Foch Square and its fountain

Foch Square and its market

In the heart of the old town, the square and its morning market reveal the flavours and friendly atmosphere of Corsica.
