Corsica (Cadogan Guide Corsica) Book

Cadogan's French experts, Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls turn their attention to the birth place of Napoleon in Cadogan's guide to Corsica, and show travelers there is a remarkable amount to discover on this small island. Relax an the beaches and tiny, hidden bays, ride the Chemins de fer de la Corse -- the marvellous mountain train between Ajaccio and Bastia -- and wander through the chestnut forests of the Castagniccia. The guide takes travelers through breath-taking mountain scenery, to the town of Corte and along the river in the Restonica Valley. As well as detailed travel and practical information, there are evocative descriptions of unspoiled walks, scenery and beaches, and an in-depth look at the customs, folklore, archaeological and historic aspects of this fantastically varied island described as the Alps by the sea.Read More
