We decided that we liked Ajaccio a little bit better than Bastia. There wasn't one particular reason; I think we got to know the town center a little bit better, and thought the ambiance was nice (for the most part) in Ajaccio. Plus, Ajaccio has an interesting art museum and several collectible Napoleon sites. Some of us felt it necessary to nickname him "Nappy." I think Napoleon is buried in/near Paris, so I couldn't tell if that nickname incited any grave-rolling...
One of the many Coriscan wonders that we really enjoyed was the traditional, polyphonic singing. It's kind of a cross between an African sound and a Gregorian chant sound. A lot of it is sung a capella, but sometimes they add guitar or percussion. We tried in vain to find live performances while we were in Ajaccio, so we got CDs instead :)
