The Island of Beauty reveals all its secrets
Corsica offers sailors a multitude of enchanting landscapes, with very pleasant sailing conditions. Throughout your journey, you will discover numerous secluded bays and coves ideal for relaxing and swimming in an idyllic setting. Two navigation areas are available to you: the north, from Ajaccio to Saint-Florent (Gulf of Girolata, Cargèse, the creeks of Piana, Porto, the Scandola reserve, Calvi, Ile Rousse...) or the south, from Ajaccio to the Sardinian Islands (Porticcio, Porto Pollo, Porto Pollo, Propriano, Campo Moro, Bonifacio...) or the south, from Ajaccio to the Sardinian Islands (Porticcio, Porto Pollo, Propriano, Campo Moro, Bonifacio...).

Haute Corse
Located in the north of the Island of Beauty, Haute-Corse reveals striking contrasting landscapes: bright beaches, mountain villages, Bastia and the Agriates Desert.
Haute-Corse is full of exceptional natural, gastronomic and architectural treasures. Venture into the hills of Balagne dotted with typical villages, in the heart of fig and olive trees, or into the valleys and mountains of Cap Corse that flow into the sea. The coastal cities, Bastia, Saint-Florent, L'Île Rousse and Calvi also await you for a gourmet and cultural break, between traditional markets, polyphonic songs, lighthouses and Genoese towers.
LES ACTIVITÉS
Southern Corsica
If Southern Corsica is fascinating for its coastline and its enchanting panoramas, a detour to the interior of the island may well surprise you and keep you longer than expected.
The Calanques de Piana, the cliffs of Bonifacio that dominate the turquoise water, the sunny beaches of the Bay of Porto-Vecchio, so many unforgettable sites that justify the nickname Island of Beauty. But it is by moving away from the coast that you really set off to meet the Corsican soul: its typical houses, the sugar groves in the south-east of the island, the fragrant mountain trails and the flavors of Corsican cuisine.
