The Gulf of Ajaccio: a place to discover

A charming port city, Ajaccio is none other than the capital of Corsica, or the "Island of Beauty," as it is so often called. Located in the south of the island on the west coast, the city offers an exceptional setting for your stays, as well as a very advantageous position for those wishing to explore other Corsican towns. In fact, Ajaccio is located halfway between Bonifacio and Bastia, the two ends of the island. The seaside town of Porticcio is located on the other side of the gulf. A location that is therefore ideal for visiting this entire Mediterranean paradise!

‍

Located about an hour and a half from Paris by plane, the city of Ajaccio is very popular with tourists, and for good reason; it benefits not only from sumptuous landscapes but also from a very rich historical and cultural heritage. After a walk at the Pointe de la Parata, a mini-cruise to the Sanguinaires Islands, or a tanning session at Capitello Beach, 21 protected buildings, 3 renowned cultural structures, and 6 sites classified by the European Natura 2000 network await you. Designated a "City of Art and History" and the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, the city of Ajaccio is deeply rooted in history and proud of its heritage. You can visit the Bonaparte House, the Fesch Palace, the Château de la Punta, or even the baroque Notre-Dame Cathedral. A true journey through time!

‍

Summer or winter, the Imperial City remains a destination full of resources, perfect for relaxing and having fun with friends or family. Hiking, canyoning, jet skiing, diving, kayaking, fishing, or rock climbing... Choose the activities that suit you for an exceptional stay in the sun! Once winter arrives, Ajaccio loses none of its charm, with visitors strolling through its streets or the aisles of its beautiful Christmas market. We’ll see you at the Place Diamant for that!

A wide range of events

The Gulf of Ajaccio is also the cradle of many events throughout the year. In terms of sports, numerous trail runs, time trials, and other competitions are organized in the city and its surroundings. These are highly appreciated by athletes looking to push their limits in an idyllic setting. On Sunday, April 5th, for example, you can catch the 31st edition of the Ajaccio Marathon. A friendly event for which running enthusiasts come not only from Corsica but also from mainland France and foreign countries like Belgium. Get ready to race!

Last September, jet ski and thrill-seekers were also treated to the French Jet Endurance Championship on Saint-François Beach. For this 2nd edition, the event was punctuated by multiple flyboard and freestyle jet demonstrations and kicked off with a musical nautical show hosted by Vincent Lagaf.

Beyond sports, Ajaccio also honors culture through varied events that attract many enthusiasts. In June, the Fête de la Musique is celebrated in the city center with free concerts that serve as real springboards for budding artists. A few days later, the 10th edition of the jazz festival “Jazz in Aiacciu” brings rhythm to the daily lives of the locals. Finally, another highlight of the Imperial City: the Ajaccio International Comics Festival, from November 13 to 15, 2020.
