CORSICA
Place of birth of former emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, Corsica is a French island in the Mediterranean sea north of Sardinia, 99 miles southeast of Nice, France, and 51 miles west of Tuscany, Italy.
Famous for its independent spirit, rugged and unspoilt beauty, olive oil, wine and citrus fruit, this captivating island is known as the "scented isle".
It was ruled over the centuries and moulded by the Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Goths and Saracens. As a consequence of those occupations, the island is now a living museum of the culture, history and people of the Mediterranean, studded with architectural monuments, including the Maison Bonaparte as a museum, Genoese fortresses, watchtowers and baroque churches.
Balzac said about Corsica it was "a French island basking in the Italian sun". Corsica was ceded to France by Genoa, Italy in 1768, indeed.
A unique blend of influences from its Mediterranean neighbours and occupations are reflected in the way of life and variety of its cuisine.
Corsica wilderness is actually heavenly for nature-lovers thanks to its 600 miles of uncrowded and wild coastline, beautiful beaches and turquoise seas. It has twenty peaks over 2000m and numerous surprises to discover in the heart of its mountains.
Adrenaline junkies will be delighted by Corsica water and mountain based activities availability such as sailing, windsurfing and kayaking, climbing, cycling and canyoning.
