The journey in
How you actually get there
- Fly into
- Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, or Figari airport; multiple ferry ports
- Then
- Year-round air and sea links serve the island, but most ceremony plans require a rental vehicle or private transfer and a deliberately narrow geographic base.
- Good to know
- Do not describe island distances using straight-line geography. Keep guests in one subregion. Use arrival and departure buffers around seasonal flights and ferries.
- Help nearby
- Select one subregion before planning
One way to use the time
What your trip could look like
This is a starting point, not a booking plan. Exact ceremony sites, opening times, and transfers still need to be confirmed.
Day 1 · Arrive in Corsica
Keep the first evening free after the journey to Corsica.
Day 2 · Get settled
Corsica brings beaches, granite mountains, old villages and citadels into one road-trip island, best approached from a single home base.
Day 3 · Wedding day
Hold the ceremony after you have had time to settle in. Keep the rest of the day open for dinner and time together.
Days 4–5 · Enjoy the days after the wedding
What to make time for: Clear coves, granite peaks and stone-village road trips.
Day 6 · Keep one day unplanned
Use it for weather, rest, a favorite place you want to revisit, or something you discover after arriving.
Day 7 · Head home
Leave enough time for the final transfer out of Corsica.

- Complete the legal marriage at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in Corsica unless the couple has a documented qualifying commune connection and confirms the case with that mairie.
- Consular possibilities depend on nationality and consular authority and should not be marketed as the normal visitor path.
- A private symbolic ceremony still requires property and vendor permissions.
Think of this as your paperwork starting point. Before paying a non-refundable deposit, ask the issuing authority to confirm the current licence, officiant, document, and ceremony-site rules for the two of you.
