CORSICA

The Mediterranean island is breathtakingly beautiful and deserves the name of the ‘Isle of Beauty’.

It boats three of the top 10 beaches in the world (plage Saleccia, plage Rondinara, and plage Palombaggia) but also sky-topping mountains, inland fjords, hiking trails, hilltop villages, and a mix or French and Italian culture at its best.

Explore tiny fishing villages such as Centuri (famous for its lobster fishing), or sleepy villages such as Canari or Albo.

Drive tiny mountain roads, bordered by olive groves, cactii and fig trees. Pay attention to cows which wander freely on the roads.

Taste typical cold cuts and cheese.  Lonzu is a must-have among Corsican cold cuts as well as (goat cheese), tomme de brebis (sheep cheese), & brocciu passu.
