Autumn in Corsica

Corsica in September: the luxury of an island still secret and unspoilt. There are rare moments when a destination reveals itself at its most authentic, far from the summer bustle.
The late season in Corsica is one of them: treasures to discover and savour, in perfect peace.

After summer, the privilege of calm…

As the bustle of high summer fades, the late season takes on an atmosphere all its own. Villages and countryside fall quiet, temperatures soften and every moment is savoured more intensely. It is arguably one of the loveliest times to discover a different Ajaccio: more authentic, more intimate, more real.

  • Walking and wide open spaces: Corsica all to yourself

From Ajaccio’s celebrated Sentier des Crêtes to lesser-known trails inland, every walk becomes a moment out of time.

The weather is mild, the light sublime, the maquis in flower and the sense of freedom complete.

In autumn, walkers enjoy a rare privilege: peaceful paths, with the summer crowds left far behind.

*Walking routes are available from reception.

  • Swimming & the pleasures of the sea

Still luminous, the Mediterranean tempts you in for the last swims of the season.

The beaches, all but deserted, become private hideaways where time seems to stand still.

It is also the ideal time for a boat trip: to follow the wild coastline, discover secret coves or simply surrender to the gentleness of the Mediterranean.

*Ask at reception about the loveliest coves in the Gulf of Ajaccio.
