Fly & Ride Ajaccio optimize your motorcycle weekend in Corsica 0% logistics 100% twists and turns

Time has become the most precious resource for the modern motorcyclist. Between work, family, and personal commitments, opportunities to escape often boil down to just a few days: a May long weekend, a last-minute day off on a Friday, or an extended weekend.

For a long time, Corsica seemed out of reach for such a short break.
“The ferry takes too long. Riding down to Toulon or Marseille is too exhausting for just three days on the island.”

👉 Today, that constraint no longer exists

At Moto Corse Evasion, we have perfected the art of Fly & Ride. Based in the immediate vicinity of Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (Campo dell’Oro), we turn a logistical constraint into an opportunity for absolute freedom. Fly & Ride is a solution designed to transform every available hour into pure riding pleasure.

Forget hours on the motorway and nights in ferry cabins. Here’s how you can land at 10:00 a.m. and be carving your first corners by 11:00 a.m., for an intense and unforgettable Corsican experience.

1. The Fly & Ride concept: the ideal solution for short motorcycle stays

The math is simple. For a rider living in Paris, Lyon, or Bordeaux, coming to Corsica with their own bike for a 3-day weekend is either mathematically impossible or a logistical feat synonymous with exhaustion.

The Fly & Ride solution flips the paradigm: you don’t come to transport your bike—you come to ride.

Immediate time savings

By choosing to fly:

✈️ Direct flight to Ajaccio (1h30 from many French cities)
🏍️ Bike ready to ride on arrival
🌄 Three full days on the most beautiful roads in Corsica

Realistic comparison:

Ferry option: departure Thursday evening, overnight crossing, arrival Friday morning tired, return Sunday evening, arrival Monday morning exhausted.

Fly & Ride option: flight Friday morning fresh and ready, pick up the bike, 3 full days of riding, return Sunday evening, home and rested, sleeping in your own bed.

Less wear, more pleasure

Corsican roads are magnificent, but their countless curves and abrasive asphalt are heavy consumers of tires. The mechanical components are also under strong stress due to steep elevation changes. Bringing your own bike (often loaded and ridden on the motorway to the port) adds unnecessary kilometers to the odometer and wears out consumables. By renting locally, you get a recent bike, perfectly shod and serviced, ready to take on local roads.

2. Fly & Ride Ajaccio: from landing to first corner in under an hour

Our promise is simple: minimize the friction between the moment you step onto the tarmac and the moment you engage first gear.

Located just a few kilometers from Ajaccio Airport, our agency is structured for efficiency.

Simplified welcome and transfer

No need to look for transportation—we organize your transfer. As soon as you exit the terminal, you are taken care of and driven directly to the agency where your bike is waiting. No stress, no unnecessary waiting.

Travel light: motorcycle gear included — a cabin bag is enough

Fly & Ride also works because you don’t have to carry anything.

This is often the main hesitation:
“I’m not going to put my helmet, gloves, and a top case in the hold—it’s too bulky!”

We anticipated this need. Our rental fleet isn’t limited to motorcycles. We offer a full range of high-quality safety equipment:

• Sanitized full-face helmets

• Certified gloves

• Top case

You can literally travel with just a cabin bag and gear up at the agency. That’s freedom.

3. Fly & Ride and international tourism: integrating Corsica into a trip to France

The Fly & Ride formula is not only for French travelers or those from neighboring countries.

More and more international tourists choose to:

• spend a few days in a major city such as Paris, Lyon, or Marseille,

• then add a regional escape to discover another side of the country,

• such as a 3- to 5-day motorcycle mini-break in Corsica.

Corsica then becomes a natural extension of a trip to France: different, wild, exotic—yet easily accessible by plane.

Example: a Canadian rider on a Fly & Ride in Ajaccio

William, a rider from Quebec, arrives in Paris for two weeks of vacation.
After a few days discovering the capital and Provence, he wants to experience a unique motorcycle adventure without dealing with complex transportation.

✈️ Flight from Paris or Marseille → Ajaccio
🏍️ Rental of a Yamaha Tracer 9 at Moto Corse Evasion
🧭 Alta Rocca – Bavella – Ospédale loop
🏨 3 nights in Southern Corsica
✈️ Return to the mainland before flying back to Canada

👉 Result: an intense motorcycle experience, with no complex formalities, perfectly integrated into an international trip.

4. Three Fly & Ride extended-weekend routes starting from Ajaccio Airport

Let’s say you only have 72 hours. No question of wasting time staring at a map or taking the wrong road. As locals, we know the loops that offer the best ratio of riding time to spectacular scenery.

Here are three turnkey options we often recommend for short rentals.

Option A: A must-see — the Calanques of Piana

Ideal for: First-time visitors to Corsica.

This is the postcard route. Leaving from the agency, head north along the coast without losing a second in city traffic.

The route: Toward Sagone, then Cargèse (the Greek village). Then comes the highlight: the Calanques of Piana and their tight bends. Red rock plunging into deep blue seas.

Agency tip: Spend Friday night in Porto or Ota. The next day, loop back via Evisa and the Spelunca Gorge—watch out for wild pigs that may join you on the road!

Why it’s optimized: You reach the island’s most famous UNESCO-listed site in under two hours from the agency.

Option B: Deep maquis, Bavella and Alta Rocca

Ideal for: Lovers of technical riding and mountains.

If you prefer granite spires and pine forests to beaches, head southeast.

The route: From the airport, take the national road to Petreto-Bicchisano, then turn toward Aullène and Zonza. You enter Alta Rocca.

The highlight: The Bavella Needles. Probably the most legendary pass in Corsica. Exceptional grip, corners flowing like a natural racetrack.

Why it’s optimized: It’s an intense loop. In 3 days, you can do the round trip via Ospédale on the return, offering breathtaking views over the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio.

Option C: Dolce vita on the south shore and Coti-Chiavari

Ideal for: Couples and relaxation.

Landing straight from a workday? Don’t chase kilometers. Stay around the Gulf of Ajaccio—but on the nature side.

The route: Cross the gulf toward Porticcio, then Plage d’Argent. Climb toward the former penitentiary of Coti-Chiavari and the village of the same name.

The experience: Balcony roads above the sea, a hike at Capo di Muro, gourmet lunch breaks with your feet in the water at Cala d’Orzu or Porto Pollo. Fewer kilometers, but rich in sensations and gastronomy.

Why it’s optimized: You’re always less than an hour from the agency. Zero stress for the Sunday evening return flight.

5. Which bike to choose for a 3-day Fly & Ride?

For a short stay, bike choice is strategic. You may not need a big adventure tourer capable of crossing Europe, but you’ll want more comfort than a small urban roadster.

Here are our recommendations:

The Swiss Army knife: BMW F850GS Adventure
The top choice. Enough luggage (top case and panniers optional) for a weekend, uncompromising comfort, and formidable agility on Corsican back roads.

The characterful roadster: Yamaha Tracer 9 GT
If you’re traveling light (backpack) and solo, this is pure pleasure. You’ll feel every corner. Maximum sensations.

The Honda X-ADV750 maxi-scooter
Don’t underestimate it. In Corsica, this GT scooter is an institution. For a Fly & Ride weekend as a couple, with its under-seat storage and ease of riding, it’s the ultimate weapon for enjoying the scenery without worrying about gear changes.

6. Pre-departure checklist: prepare your arrival

To make “off the plane and straight onto the bike” possible, we need a minimum of preparation from you. Here’s how to save precious minutes at the counter:

• Book online: Don’t rely on luck, especially on weekends in May, June, and September. Secure your booking in advance at www.corsicamoto.fr/location.

• Complete the process beforehand: Driving license, ID, deposit. If we’ve received everything by email and bank transfer, the contract is already prepared when you arrive. All that’s left is to pay the balance and sign.

• Specify your equipment needs: Let us know your sizes (helmet, gloves) when booking. We’ll prepare everything before you arrive.

• Check the weather: Even though Corsica is the island of sunshine, altitude can mean cooler temperatures, especially over mountain passes. A winter motorcycle jacket, neck warmer, or balaclava in your bag can be useful. Conversely, summer is always hot—but safety is never negotiable; a well-ventilated summer motorcycle jacket is the best solution.

Conclusion: Corsica by motorcycle—even with little time—is possible. Your weekend can start now.
