Relax on a 45-minute drive into the countryside en route to Ocana, a hillside community known for its cobbled, red tile-roofed homes and pleasant, remote setting.
Upon arrival, step inside Maison des Senteurs, a distillery where the Caux Brothers have produced essential oils and cosmetic products for more than 20 years. Learn about how they use native trees and plants to create 13 different organic oils that are used for fragrances and natural healing products.
Next, head to Le Jardin des Abeilles, a honey farm run by beekeepers Denis and Nancy Casalta. The farm's 400 hives produce six varietals of honey. Walk along the flower-lined pathways and learn about bee behavior before sampling an assortment of honey collected on site. Pick up some souvenir jars in the gift shop before the lovely drive back to Ajaccio.
Once back in town, visit the Fresh Market -- Ajaccio's farmers' market. Delight your senses as you walk among stalls with bold colors and distinctive flavors.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes.
