Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Corsica, the French island in the Mediterranean Sea, southeast of France and west of Italy.
Corsica was "often conquered, never subdued" and has been successively Pisan and Genovese but has been French since 1768 and it enjoys a special constitutional status. A mountain in the sea, Corsica is also called the island of beauty. The diversity of its scenery, as well as the non-intrusiveness of its development and tourism, makes it one of the pearls of the Mediterranean sea.
Most visitors come to Corsica during the summer months, and particularly in August, when the number of tourists doubles from the already large populations in July. If you plan to visit Corsica in August, planning ahead is essential, as hotels, campsites, car rental agencies, and ferries can be booked up.
