When to go to Ajaccio?
Ochre façades, a wide gulf and mountains immediately behind: the Corsican capital catches the light early and holds it late. The Maison Bonaparte, where Napoleon was born, is preserved room by room, and the Musée Fesch gathers Italian painting and Napoleonic portraits a few streets away. At dusk, boats head out to the Îles Sanguinaires, which turn deep red as the sun drops.
