Think also about the birthplace - Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica island. You can see the house and the museum.

The city is easily served by car/passenger ferries and regular flights from mainland France. Flights are operated by Air France; sea crossings by SNCM and Corsica Ferries.

The island itself is also worth a few days' visit with its beaches, its mostly mountaineous terrain, winding roads. It is a trekker's paradise with the famous GR 20 trail, the natural reserve and outdoor adventure spots. A small scenic train links the city of Bastia while crossing the entire island through the mountains in 3 hours.
