Les Jardins de l'Empereur

Les Jardins de l'Empereur (literally, "The Emperor's Gardens") is a neighbourhood of Ajaccio, Corsica, France. The neighbourhood has been described as a banlieue and is classed as a sensitive urban zone (ZUS). The majority of its inhabitants are foreign, of which North Africans predominate. The neighbourhood made national and international headlines due to violent unrest in December 2015, after which programmes were initiated to improve it.
