With its conservation areas and nature reserves which have been given national recognition or registered on Unesco's world heritage list, its International marine reserve, and its Regional Nature Reserve which stretches from one side to the other of its mountain range, from Calvi to Porto-Vecchio, Corsica remains for the most part a protected island.
Its lively culture is the product of centuries of customs maintained by the island's soul, and is richly expressed in its voices, music and crafts.
The village fair, a showcase for the Corsican way of life with its winemaking tradition going back to antiquity and its gastronomy full of local flavours, is just one way of discovering and learning to love Corsica.
Rich in monuments, Corsica is also rich in culture, crafts and lively traditions in which gastronomy plays a central role. An authentic, generous cuisine !
