Corsica: a little history

A land of character in the heart of the Mediterranean, Corsica has always occupied a strategic position, contested by the great maritime powers. Genoese for several centuries, it became French in 1768, a year before Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Ajaccio. Its history is marked by a strong identity, a deep attachment to the land and a culture rooted in both mountains and shores. Today, it combines this living memory with a unique art of living, between hilltop villages, secret coves and grand family homes.
