Travel to Corsica, France – Episode 267
categories: europe travelThe Amateur Traveler talks to Jeff Steiner from Americans in France to talk about a lesser-known part of France which is the island of Corsica.
The island is better known to Americans as the home of Napoleon Bonaparte but the French call the island L’isle Beauté – the Island of Beauty. Corsica boasts a mountainous interior, with a hiking trail from one end to the other, but is surrounded by gorgeous beaches. South of France, in the Mediterranean Sea, the island is sun-drenched in the Summer.
Driving on the island can be scary with narrow winding mountain roads with wonderful views.
The Corsicans also boast that Christopher Columbus was born there (The Genoese do not agree). Jeff encourages us to visit the town of Calvi.
