HIGHLIGHTS AROUND AJACCIO
MAISON BONAPARTE
The Bonaparte family, originally Buonaparte, left historical footprints in Ajaccio. Monuments, café names and especially the ancestral home still recall Napoleon, the former Emperor of France.

Then, stroll through the old town and discover the Corsican market at Place Foch.
