It is not for nothing that it is nicknamed the Island of Beauty!

In the south of France, in the heart of the Mediterranean, Corsica enchants us. This mountainous island offers a rare natural heritage, a strong identity and an authentic culture, not forgetting a crystal-clear sea. We go there to sail, cabotage, swim, dive, surf, hike... We meditate in front of the sumptuous beauty of the landscapes, we indulge in idleness without which Corsica cannot really be appreciated. We take the time for an aperitif, a meal of Corsican delicacies which is prolonged from palaver to tasting. A miniature continent, Corsica offers a wide variety of landscapes and its exotic gourmet and sunny exoticism all year round. Wild and welcoming at the same time, preserved but open, dignified and voluptuous, soft and rough, Corsica is unique and generates as many strong emotions as it does surprises. Among the island s must-see places are the beaches of Porto-Vecchio, the Cap Corse and Calvi, Bastia and Bonifacio, the citadel of Corte, the Aléria museum and its archaeological site. The magnificent Bavella massif, for its part, attracts hikers and climbers. You must visit the Fesch Palace, the Fine Arts Museum of Ajaccio, the nature reserve of the Lavazzi Islands, without forgetting to go nose to wind, to stop in the villages, to meet the producers of jams, charcuterie or Corsican cheeses. And why not attend a workshop on the discovery of essential oils or learn the Corsican language?
