Monuments, avenues, squares, streets, museums, hill of the Casone, the Imperator memory is present everywhere in its native town, so much that Emile Bergerat could tell about Ajaccio that it is the "memory of the great Corsican with houses around". Nevertheless, this city which fathered one of the big conquerators of History is not agressive tempered. It does not dominate the visitor but seduces him with its charms with, in the same time a smiling nonchalance.
The richness of the corsican landscape makes every attempt to describe very difficult, because there are so many various splendours which come close together or become intermingled between marine blue sky and heavenly horizon; such as the lofty peaks, valleys worthy of a legend, wild or harmonous gulfs, sheltered inlets, placid or wild beaches, cliffs sculpted by men and spindrift, hillsides cut out for vines and the olive tree. |
