Corsica, France

l'île de beauté. What an amazing place. It’s been on our short list for several years, finally made it happen, been here for a week and we love it.

 

Great people, mostly French but they have a strong sense of Corsican heritage, with a fair amount of Italian mixed in, especially in their language.

 

The scenery is fantastic, almost 200 beaches with a lot of variety, many with fine white sand. Some have a parking lot and beach bars, some have a hike and serenity. We prefer the latter. The interior of the island has mountains up to 8,800’ in elevation. Very diverse geography.

 

The food is French Mediterranean, which is to say, perfect. And the wine is mostly produced here, they don’t import or export much, and it’s very tasty and surprisingly inexpensive.

 

It does help to speak some French because there will be places where no English is spoken. We rarely hear English being spoken at other tables at restaurants, nor have we met any Americans in our week here. I’m surprised by that but it’s quite nice. Our favorite place has always been St. Barth, which unfortunately has been overrun with Americans post-pandemic.

 

You could spend a month here and not run out of things to see or do. We spent time in Isle Rousse, Calvi, Piana, Corte, and Bonifacio. Along the way we’ve discovered tons of stuff that we didn’t have time for, or rather, we’re trying to relax as much as possible (madame-wt is 17 weeks pregnant), so we will absolutely be returning to enjoy more of what Corsica has to offer.
