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[1] and is classed as a sensitive urban zone (ZUS).[2] The majority of its inhabitants are foreign, of which North Africans predominate.[1] The neighbourhood made national and international headlines due to violent unrest in December 2015,[3][4] after which programmes were initiated to improve it.[1]
