A word of advice from Lagrange: French roads are excellent, but not free, so keep some euros handy.
Cesar, the famous French sculptor, when landing in Corsica, exclaimed with an accent betraying his sunny Mediterranean origins:"You'd have to be mad to go to the ends of the earth in search of something that is standing before your very eyes! Corsica is just fascinating!". True, Corsica is like a mountain surrounded by the sea, an open air museum, lively and rich with a heritage dating back thousands of years... Filitosa's menhirs, Palaggio's 258 monoliths in Sarlene, and the ruins of Aleria attesting the past splendours of the ancient capital of the island.
Through megalithic and Torrean art, the whole history of the Corsican people is drawn or carved in the womb of the earth. Diamond-like lakes can be found high up in the mountains: Nino, Mela, Crena, Renoso... reflecting the sun, sparkling. Painterly landscapes changing according to the light. Mountain and sea side by side in perfect harmony. If you haven't been there yet, then nothing can really be told about Corsica, you have to live and breathe it!
