Shopping in Ajaccio

  1. A

    Maison de L'Amande Corse

    Maison de L'Amande Corse is a delightfully obsessive, single-product shop that offers almonds from Corsica (the island grows around 60% of the total French production), prepared in every possible way: almond oil, almond powder, cream of almond, almond soap, grilled, salted almonds - and wickedly tempting, delightfully sweet nougatine d'amande.

  2. Boulangerie Galeani

    Sweet-lovers will lose all self-control at Boulangerie Galeani – see if you can resist the devilish beignet de Brocciu (Brocciu fritters) and canistrelli (biscuits made with almond, walnuts, lemon or aniseed) served at this longstanding bakery.

    Opium

    Opium, with shops on both sides of the street, offers not a single Corsican product. The owner, herself a victim of the travel bug, instead sells original and striking jewellery and crafts, for the most part from Africa and Asia.
