ezgif-4-1b3d4ff887b7.gif

I never thought that I could find a very nice time and amazing blue water in Europa in october : Corsica made it !

I don’t do many hikes but this time I decided to do several and I was delighted!

Find out all place which I talk here : https://goo.gl/maps/5j9F9QJNTiakDKkWA (Google Maps public list)

Palombaggia Beach

One of the most famous beach in Corsica, located in the municipality of Porto-Vecchio, it extends over 1.5km. It was the first beach that we try and we really enjoyed !

Bonifacio : Sunset on the port, picture from the bay and one of the best glacier of the island !

This is the port of Bonifacio at 7pm

This is the view when you drive maybe 15 minutes and you can see Bonifacio (houses on the cliffs)

In a new small app called Google Maps… hehe… ? The note was very high (4.6/5.0 for more 500 votes). With Google maps we always be sure that will be good… And it was ! Many and specials choices with local products.

I taken chestnuts to test the flavor and pear because it’s my favorite ! The 2 ice cream scoops was delicious !

Tell me what is your favorite flavour on the comment section ! ?

Arburacellu : Tree of the year 2018 in France !

One thing to see if you come in Corsica is Arburacellu. It has an estimated age between 200 and 230 years, between 20 and 25 meters high, and growths that suggest bird wings.

Ajaccio : Capital of Corsica

We went in Ajaccio because we want to see the city, eat someting great and to be honest see the film “Joker”. All the activity was very great !

We have choose “Le Grill” restaurant near the sea and the meat was incredible ! You can find my full review of this restaurant on the list I shared by clic on the link at the beginning !

Lavezzi Islands : Where nobody living

We have took a boat from Bonifacio to have the opportunity to explore Lavezzi Islands. There is only the people who paid for come in the island and we was really alone soon ! There is many place that you could be like your own plage ephemerally. This is crazy !

Ondella : Simply the best restaurant I made in Corsica

I don’t like meat everydays, but when I’m in holidays, I like to try a few restaurants specialized for that.

The penultimate day that we have to go, we choose to try our last restaurant and it was be Ondella. I took a cut of beef with an incredible morel sauce. If you come in Corsica and you like meat, don’t hesitate with this restaurant !

Beach Hugo : Your private beach on Corsica !

The water temperature was maybe 22c° or 23c° and we were literally alone on the beach. Very refreshing and soothing

Calanques de Piana : walk on the nature and have a wonderful view

One day we just walk and have one of the best view of the trip in Piana

Corsica : If you need to feed your Instagram account be welcome !

I stayed here for almost two weeks so I had fun taking lots of pictures. Here it’s great because as soon as you move a little, you’re alone and quiet with beautiful landscapes.
I used this one for my instagram account

I didn’t want to make a long post but if you want to go there, don’t hesitate to ask me.
The activity on the gif (video) is a water hike called Alpacorse (it is on the list too)

Hi @christophesubilia ,

Absolutely stunning photos! Every summer I go to South of France and always think to visit Corsica as well, but somehow never manage to. It’s been on my list for quite some time now and looking at your photos makes me want to go!

From where did you travel to Corsica and by what transportation? How are the prices there? How long did you stay for? I’d love to hear more. Thanks a lot! :slightly_smiling_face:

@DanniS Thank you so much for the comment !

We took a plane from Paris to Figari (South Corsica) with Easyjet for 50 eur (with a luggage) !
At this Airport (figari) we rented a car for 120eur (for 1 week and 4 days… It’s very cheap I found)
And we stayed in a Airbnb which was perfect placed (15 or 30 minutes to all places you must see) if you want more info dont hesitate to send me a PM.

If you visit Corsica just one advice to really enjoy… Book yours holidays not at the main holidays of summer. The Girl who rent the airbnb told us that the road we took to go to another city from the airbnb in 15minutes, It’s 1 hour and half in the summer (jully and august)
