Tourism - Haute-Corse



Haute-Corse is a French department located in the north east of the Island of Corsica. This region is called ‘Cismonte’. The central mountain ridge called ‘I Monti’ separates it from the Corse-du-Sud department. Haute-Corse is surrounded by the Tyrrhenian Sea in the east and the Mediterranean Sea in the west.

The natural tourist attractions are numerous and various: Cape Corse, wild and hilly, the Balagne, rich and lush, the Restonica gorges, the desert of Agriates and the Castagniccia that has long been unreachable. Haute-Corse possesses so many natural treasures that are unequalled.

Cities such as Bastia, Corte or Calvi are the main cities in Haute-Corse and the not-to-be-missed village of Centuri with its tiny harbour is a haven of peace and beauty, which houses many churches and chapels. There are also several castles and Genovese Towers.
