Officials believe the train crashed as it approached a roundabout with the final carriage overturning and smashing into the ground.
A total of 57 people were onboard at the time, including children.
It is unclear how many children, if any, have been injured.
The accident took place shortly before 12pm on the Sanguinaires road, between Ariadne beach and Barbicaghja beach in Ajaccio.
Investigations are ongoing with officials still at the scene.
The train is believed to be a dotto train often to transport tourists across seaside resorts.
They cover short distances and are comprised of train carriages which are pulled by a locomotive.
They don’t use traditional tracks and are much smaller in size.
It comes just days after three people died after a train with 100 passengers derailed and overturned in Germany.
A huge rescue operation was launched to free trapped passengers following the crash near the town of Riedlingen.
Footage from the shocking scene shows firefighters attempting to rescue passengers as loud screams can be heard.
Part of the train was seen lying on its side, with the roof of one carriage open.
The carriages that came off the tracks lay in a wooded embankment among trees.
Firefighters are also seen using saws to free passengers from the overturned train.
