There is a fly in the ointment though. Genoa sold the Republic of Corsica to France in the 18th century. France then sent troops to island to take over their new acquisition and a lot of Corsicans died in the fighting. There are still very strong feelings of nationalism in Corsica and I would be surprised if there isn't some trouble this summer. I wonder how Alizée would feel about that situation. I think she feels strongly about being Corsican, but not so much about being French.
