Programme

        You can start the journey anywhere, in BASTIA BASTIA for example, and climb to Cap Corse, follow the coast between the sea and the mountain until SAINT FLORENT, through the desert of the AGRIATES, continue towards CALVI and rejoin the sea to the bay of PORTO and the Calanche de PIANA.
        You then make your way into the interior of the island to climb the col du VERGIO, the highest road in Corsica (1473 m.) and its ski station. You are bound to discover the friendly hospitality of the people, the magnificent sights, the rides through the sleepy villages in the middle of the afternoon.
       Continuing on your route you will arrive at AJACCIO after passing through CARGESE and all the extreme south coast from PROPRIANO of BONIFACIO, then up to PORTO-VECCHIO, round the BAVELLA, needles, and back through SOLENZARA and the eastern coast.
        Before returning to your starting point, go into the interior, through PIEDICROCE. . No palm trees, no rubber trees, but a beautiful and sombre forest of chestnut trees, on roads that tunnel beneath the greenery, with the occasional herds of pigs and goats.
