Mediterranean island, French territory since 1769 (7)

I believe the answer is:

corsica

(Other definitions for corsica that I've seen before include "French island in Med" , "Mediterranean island, chief city Ajaccio" , "Mediterranean location" , "Island of W Italy, capital Ajaccio" , "Island north of Sardinia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
