Key Areas

June 2012
Ajaccio will be eternally in debt with Napoléon Bonaparte, the most famous inhabitant of Corsica. That's why every year the town organises a week with music, theatre, cinema, conferences and exhibitions dedicated to the figure of L'Empereur. If you're there on 12-16 June, don't miss the chance to whistle La Marseillaise while visiting these venues.
