Ajaccio for a weekend

Published December 3, 2021

The trend is towards slow tourism, in other words, disconnection, taking time out.
The Mediterranean climate and Ajaccio lifestyle are naturally conducive to this. Come and try it out in the Pays d'Ajaccio...

Taking time for yourself

What if you took advantage of the vacations to (finally) take some time for yourself?
There's nothing like mixing cultural visits with moments of relaxation.

Yoga on the beach? An afternoon at the spa

As you will have understood, you have no reason to let go during your weekend in Ajaccio.

Discover the foot from your hotel

To put your bags down in a hotel within a stone's throw (literally) of a city's must-sees is a luxury. You can afford it in Ajaccio.

Just a few blocks from the Maison Bonaparte, theHôtel Napoléon and the Fesch and Spa will be your cocoon during your getaway.

The hotel Albion allows you to relax in the Quartier des Etrangers, halfway between the old town and Trottel beach.

Have you heard about the trinighellu (the train linking Ajaccio to Bastia) and are you tempted by a trip through the mountains?
Then the Ibis Styles is the place to book your room. Its proximity to the train station and town center is ideal.

Visiting Ajaccio by soft transport

One of the keys to letting go is to let yourself be (trans)carried.

It couldn't be easier: just hop on a bike and set off to discover the Imperial City. If you opt for an electric bike, you can even go as far as the the Parata peninsula along the coast. And don't forget to pose in front of the mythical Iles Sanguinaires!
