Pastel-shaded Ajaccio is Napoleon Bonaparte's birthplace, the largest town on Corsica and the capital of Corse-du-Sud. In its livelier moments it's slightly reminiscent of Nice on the Ca te d'Azur. You shouldn't expect more of Ajaccio than it can deliver. It's a provincial place with a limited bag of tricks with which to seduce outsiders, and it also has a melancholic (or as the French might say, triste) side.

Toulon is a city in southern France and a large military harbour on the Mediterranean coast, with a major French naval base. Located in the Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'Azur region Toulon is the prefecture (capital) of theVardépartment, in the former province of Provance.Toulon is an important centre for naval construction, fishing, wine making, and the manufacture of aeronautical equipment, armaments, maps, paper, tobacco, printing, shoes, and electronic equipment. Greek colonists came from Asia Minor about the 7th century BC and established trading depots along the coast, including one, called Olbia, at Saint-Pierre de l'Almanarre south of Hyeres, to the east of Toulon. A Celtic (possibly) people, the Ligurians, settled in the area beginning in the 4th century BC. The old town of Toulon, the historic center located between the port, the Boulevard de Strasbourg and the cours Lafayette, is a pedestrian area with narrow streets, small squares and many fountains. Toulon Cathedral is located here. The area is also home of the celebrated Provencal market which takes place every morning on the Cours Lafayette, which features local products. The old town had decayed in the 1980s and 1990s, but recently many of the fountains and squares have been restored, and many new shops have opened.
