When you say France, the first thing that comes to mind is Paris and the Eiffel Tower. But if you opt for a more laidback and underrated destination, Ajaccio, a French island in the Mediterranean Sea, is a must visit for people looking to get some sun and a dose of history. One of the many things to look forward to, aside from the cinematic natural scenery and long stretches of pristine beaches, is the museum which house memorabilia of Napoleon Bonaparte. Bonaparte was born and baptized on this island so you can expect a lot of history here. Another thing to take note of is the amazing and wide array of Airbnb vacation rentals available. There are so many of them, that you’ll have a hard time picking one, so in case you need help, we have compiled a list for you below:
