Arriving in Corsica: Your Journey from France

Leaving mainland France behind, the crossing to Corsica lands at Bastia or Ajaccio, with the island's mountainous silhouette rising from the sea well before docking. Bastia's citadel and Terra Vecchia old quarter offer a genuine, unpolished welcome, while Ajaccio, Napoleon's birthplace, has a grander seafront and a museum dedicated to the emperor. Either port opens onto Corsica's rugged interior and beaches further along the coast, and the mountain train between Bastia and Ajaccio, cutting through the island's dramatic interior, is one of Europe's most scenic rail journeys.
