France's government and elected officials from Corsica have agreed on wording for granting autonomy to the Mediterranean island, a region that often chafes at rule from Paris.
President Emmanuel Macron in September set a six-month deadline to find a way to give the island "a form of autonomy".
Corsicans have long wanted more say on their own affairs, as well as official status for their language and protection from outsiders buying up land – two thorny requests that Paris has been reluctant to grant.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin and Corsican officials in the early hours of Tuesday said they had agreed on wording to be added in the constitution.
