44 walks and hikes to marvel at the splendours of the Corsican coastline.
A powerful mountain set in the Mediterranean, Corsica has an endless coastline where gulfs, headlands, coves and paradisiacal beaches combine. With a fantastic variety of landscapes all around the island. Of course this world is synonymous with seaside resorts, swimming and sunbathing. But over the decades another side has emerged with the rehabilitation of coastal paths. In times gone by, customs officers and hunters would roam this territory, the former fighting against smuggling from the sea, the latter to improve their daily lives. Today, this remarkable natural space is a delight for walkers and contemplatives alike. It also conceals an incredible heritage with its Genoese towers lost in the immensity of the maquis with its incomparable scents.
Through these 44 walks and hikes and the many variants on offer, Philippe Royer, a seasoned connoisseur of the Island of Beauty which he has been exploring for over 40 years, invites you to discover this rich human and natural heritage. Most of the routes are easy and the elevation changes are very slight. Walking times rarely exceed four hours.
To be explored without hesitation, and savoured without moderation!
