Cap Corse

A grandiose nature and exceptional sites

The Cap Corse is a true paradise for lovers of wild, unspoilt landscapes. Bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea to the east and the Gulf of Saint-Florent to the west, it offers a succession of steep cliffs, secret beaches and fragrant maquis. One of the must-see sites is the famous sentier des douaniers, which runs along the coast for almost 19 kilometers between Macinaggio and Centuri, offering breathtaking views of turquoise coves and the Finocchiarola islands. Fans of grandiose panoramas can also climb up to the Moulin Mattei, from where you can embrace a spectacular view of the Corsican coastline and mountains.

Perched villages and preserved heritage

The Cap Corse is also a land of traditions, where every village has a story to tell. In Nonza, an emblematic village perched on a cliff, the famous black pebble beach and the paoline tower attract visitors in search of striking contrasts. Further north, Centuri, renowned for its picturesque little port and lobster, is a must for gourmets. Inland, Rogliano and Canari reveal a rich architectural heritage with Baroque churches and stone houses. Finally, Erbalunga, a charming fishing village, seduces with its peaceful atmosphere and flower-filled alleyways that inspire many artists.
