\b0 Originally a Roman city and then a Genoese colony, Ajaccio has grown up at the end of a wonderfull

ion, for its coastal roads leading to the headlands of the Parata or Guardiola, the sentinels of the gulf, and for the archipelago of the ╬les Sanguinaires, whose name (ôBloody Islandsö) evokes the red color of their rocky, porphyry soils.\par
