Corsica Discovery

22 to 30 August 2011

Today we are beginning our 8 day tour of the island of Corsica lying 45 minutes flight to the south of Nice, France. This “ Island of Beauty” will astound you! From its pristine sandy beaches to its craggy coastline, to its truly magnificent mountains and nature reserves, we will travel! It is a land with a chequered historical background, and you will experience this history from the megalithic period, through the Napoleonic years, to today. As well as learning all there is to know about this wonderful island, you will also just have a chance to soak in the beauty of the island and just have a lovely holiday! We will be staying in both the seaside town of Propriano with its white beaches in the south, and the seaside port town of Calvi in the north, bustling with hordes of multimillion dollar pleasure craft. A visit to Corsica is like a step back in time – Provence as it was 100 years ago, where you can still see the shepherd tending his flock day and night in the open fields.
