About Corsica

Corsica is France's wild island — a mountain in the sea whose interior rivals the Alps for drama while its coast offers some of the Mediterranean's clearest water and least crowded beaches. The GR20 long-distance trail is regarded as Europe's most challenging and most beautiful. Bonifacio's clifftop citadel above aquamarine straits, the maquis-scented interior and charcuterie culture of extraordinary quality make this island feel unlike anything else in France.

Highlights

  • GR20 — Europe's toughest long-distance trail
  • Bonifacio citadel on limestone cliffs
  • Restonica Gorge swimming holes
  • Bavella needles rock formations
  • Scandola Nature Reserve sea kayaking
  • Ajaccio — Napoleon's birthplace
