Tourist information -
Ajaccio
Leaning at the side of the most beautiful gulf of the world, under
the look of the touching Iles Sanguinaires, the elegant Ajaccio,
strong by the beauty and the fame that gods and some of its sons,
knows with a nonchalance full of humor and of sensivity how to charm
its visitors.
These ones will not regret to have sauntered in its old streets
which are all full of the memory of Napoleon Bonaparte, in its markets
with the colors of the countryside, or to have visited its churches,
its cathedral, its imperial chapel or the small A Bandera museum
to know a little more about Corsica.
But, it is maybe the visit of the very beautiful Fesch Museum,
guardian of the most beautiful collection of italian primitives
after the Museum of the Louvre one, which will nourrish the longest
time the memories of the visitors of this imperial city.
Still dazzled by the light of Ajaccio, the traveller will continue
its way, in the north, toward the Cinarca valley whose softness
evoke the Tuscany, toward Tiuccia, Sagone and Cargese - small Greece
- on promontory, then, not far from there, toward Piana with the
fantastic Calanches, tumults petrified in the granite's blood.
Seized by the vertigo with so much beauty he will
then go down toward the august gulf of Porto with a hinterland which
promises beautiful rambles before reaching, by scrub or by sea,
the haven of Girolata and the organs of volcanic stones of the nature
reserve of Scandola, which are so exceptional places of interest
that the UNESCO have inscribed them to the Heritage of the Humanity.
