Discover Córcega

Corsica, the 'Île de Beauté' (Island of Beauty), is a mountain in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a land of untamed character and wild, spectacular beauty. Its identity is unique, with its own language (Corsican) and deeply rooted traditions. Its landscapes are of overwhelming drama: from the coves with turquoise waters and paradisiacal beaches to the steep peaks of the interior, passing through the red granite cliffs of the Calanques de Piana. With fortified citadels overlooking the sea, mountain villages anchored in time and a gastronomy based on authentic products, Corsica is an island that is experienced with the five senses, a miniature continent that invites adventure and discovery.

Local Gastronomy

Corsican gastronomy is a reflection of its territory: authentic, generous and with character. It combines mountain products, such as its famous charcuterie and sheep and goat cheeses, with those from the sea. Chestnut, Corsican pork ('porcu nustrale'), aromatic herbs from 'maquis' and Brocciu cheese are the pillars of its cuisine.
