Corsica by Olivier Goujon
Corsica is an interesting mix, France with an Italian twist. There are many reasons to visit the island, quite apart from its lovely sunny weather: dramatically beautiful with mountains plunging down to a rugged shoreline and glittering sea; picturesque villages, hillside shrines, spring flowers in the maquis; walking, climbing, watersports of every description; fresh seafood, wine, homegrown olives, cheeses and ham; the popular resorts of Calvi, Ajaccio, Bonifacio, L'Ile-Rousse. The Corsicans dislplay a fierce pride in their unique cultural heritage and history, which includes the legacy of the Corsican bandits and of course Napoleon, the most famous Corsican of them all. The guide explores the region via typical themes with specialist maps pinpointing the best place to pursue different interests such as walks, chateaux and views. It also examines the island by subdividing it into smaller areas, recommending towns, villages, areas of natural beauty and monuments and attractions. The guide caters for a wide range of ages ranging from young children to the elderly.| SKU | Unavailable |
