Corsica is
an island located between France and Italy. I really did not have any
expectations going there but I really fell in love with the place. The nature
here is very dramatic, mountains with small villages clinging on to the sides,
short and dense vegetation and then the beautiful blue sea.
We were
only staying at one place for the whole week, the small costal town of Ile Rousse. I’ve heard that travelling
around the island by car is very beautiful and that is something I would really
like to do in the future. The little town of Ile Rousse is however very picturesque and offers small
restaurants, a lovely market and a very nice sand beach.
This week
was all about eating and relaxing! I highly recommend freshly roasted coffee
from Le Bon Café at Place Delanney. We also really
enjoyed the local chestnut beer Pietra. Every morning there was also a small
market where you can get fruit, meat and wonderful local cheeses. I especially
enjoyed the goat cheese! Don’t forget to have ice cream, which really is
essential for any summer trip. There was a huge selection of ice cream places
in the little town but my absolute favourite one must be Le
Café des Platanes, which also
was a ideal place for people watching. And don't forget to bring home some locally grown olive oil. It is just fantastic!
