Corsica is an ideal autumn destination because of its fantastic climate, a report has said.
The Telegraph has highlighted the Mediterranean island as an 'autumn hot spot'.
Corsica enjoys temperatures of 22 degrees Celsius right through October and nine hours of sunshine each day, making it the ideal getaway location as the nights draw in and the sun becomes a faint memory in the UK.
Today, for instance, the temperature in Ajaccio is a very mild 20 degrees Celsius and tomorrow the temperature is expected to peak at 25 degrees Celsius.
This means you can enjoy a beach holiday in the region while friends and relatives at home don scarves and hats.
Autumn is a nice time to visit because outside of the busy summer season, with Italian and French pupils back at school, there is profound peace to complement the year-round charms of the island.
Corsica has the sunshine record for France, with an impressive 2,793 hours per year.
