Chemin des Crêtes, Coastal hiking trail in Ajaccio, France.
The Chemin des Crêtes extends for 10.6 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast, connecting the center of Ajaccio to the Sanguinaires Islands through varied terrain.
The trail passes near A Finosa, a former sheepfold that Napoleon Bonaparte gifted to the Assali family for their support during his military operations in Corsica.
Old stone walls and agricultural structures along the path reveal the traditional farming methods once practiced by local inhabitants in the threshing areas called aghja.
The trail offers two main variants, the Low Peaks and High Peaks routes, with the Fontaine de Cupetta serving as a crucial decision point at the fourth kilometer.
The path includes preserved sections of ancient agricultural land where farmers previously cultivated cereals, marked by remaining stone structures and wall foundations.
