The moment you step off the plane or ferry and take your first deep breath, you’ll feel it instantly. Corsicans call it the maquis, and it’s a truly distinctive blend of wild thyme<\/strong>, rosemary, myrtle and sun-baked earth. The famous military commander Napoleon Bonaparte himself once reportedly declared that he could recognise his home island blindfolded, purely by this unique scent. And today we’re heading together to the very city in Ajaccio, Corsica<\/strong>, where this French emperor was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajaccio is the capital of Corsica and offers an utterly fascinating combination of an elegant French atmosphere<\/strong> and rugged island pride.

In this article I bring you 11 tips on what to see and do in Ajaccio and its immediate surroundings.
