Discover Corsica (France)


Corsica is a captivating French island north of Sardinia and west of Italy, surrounded by the glistening azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea. French-owned and -speaking since 1768, Corsica also holds onto its command of the original Corsican language and has a distinctly different feel to mainland France. Corsica's dramatic landscape is a thrilling combination of ethereal mountain ranges that sweep down upon soft, golden beaches, sparkling coastlines and cosmopolitan towns. Inland, quiet roads lazily snake between traditional villages, idyllic countryside and verdant forests. In the north, the charming town of Ile Rousse boasts narrow, paved streets flanked by townhouses that open onto graceful squares surrounded by bustling cafes and tempting ice-cream parlours that lie in the shade of swaying palms. In the south, medieval Bonifacio is equally captivating with its collection of narrow streets and a glitzy marina.
