France
Corsica Drive & Stroll 8 Days
Corsica is an unspoiled island of deep gorges, cool pine forests, ancient hamlets perched on hillsides, and dazzling beaches—all in an area only one-fifth the size of Switzerland. It’s a walker’s paradise, crisscrossed by ancient footpaths and mule tracks. And at the end of the trail you’ll discover tiny villages where people speak an Italian dialect all their own, for this is France with an Italian flavour. Travel slowly and savour this unique blend of cultures.
