Hike near Corte​

There are great hiking routes in Corsica. However, you should take good equipment and be somewhat confident. We got caught in a thunderstorm here twice.

Best regards, Uli

Place Gaffori in Corte​

Place of Jean-Pierre Gaffori with his birthplace (1704) covered with bullet holes in the centre of Corte. In 1745, Corsicans led by Gaffori drove the occupiers out of the town and he was called "Protector of the Nation".


Best regards, Uli

Feast of the Virgin Mary in Casamaccioli​

In the mountain village of Casamaccioli, the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary is celebrated annually. For centuries, members of the brotherhoods have carried a statue of the Virgin Mary through the small village in the north of the island (Haute-Corse). The Virgin Mary is the patron saint of Corsica.


Best regards, Uli

Corsica was a stop along a cruise rounte I took a few years ago. Did not get to see any of these places. I'll have to pay attention next trip. Thanks.
