Northern Corsica, the most beautiful places to discover

From Cap Corse to Ile-Rousse, passing through Balagne, the landscapes of Northern Corsica offer some of the most spectacular and varied natural sites on the Isle of Beauty. How can one not be charmed by the expanses of maquis, the rugged coastline, and the fine sandy beaches with this astonishingly clear water, whose warmth will gently envelop you in the heart of summer? You will be surprised by the richness of the places and the varied expressions of this nature.

As you stroll through the streets of old Bastia, the change of scenery will already be total. The colorful facades in warm hues, the whiteness of the churches, or the beauty of the palaces will surely remind you of a scent of Italy, a testament to the Genoese influence.

From Bastia to Erbalunga, the coast will offer you postcard landscapes while witnessing the life of fishermen. Admiring the return of fishing with colorful boats is more than a picturesque spectacle; it’s an opportunity to taste the freshest and most delicious seafood you have ever tasted, from line-caught fish from the coasts to the delicious Corsican lobster, not to mention the traditional Corsican “bouillabaisse,” the Aziminu.

Finally, it’s impossible to visit Northern Corsica without immersing yourself in the streets of these Corsican villages of stunning beauty, lost on a small mountain road, or perched on a promontory with bright white rock. The cobbled streets lined with pink laurels, the local artisans working in their shops, the welcome freshness of the high stone walls, the panorama of the sea that suddenly reveals itself at the turn of a small street or square… dream vacations as we love them, to be enjoyed calmly to the rhythm of Corsican songs and this Corsican sweetness of life, oh so restful.

It’s hard to spend a holiday in Upper Corsica without already planning to return next year!
