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
