*Hello!
In Corsica, babies as young as 2 and teenagers are well catered for
When you're traveling with a 2-year-old baby or teenagers, your stay in Corsica needs to be well thought-out to ensure the comfort of the whole family. Avoid long journeys that could tire the little ones, and plan your activities to avoid the midday sun. For toddlers, a baby carrier is a precious ally, providing reassuring proximity while leaving your hands free to explore. Don't forget to keep citronella spray on hand to repel insects, and sun cream to protect your child's delicate skin.
For a successful family holiday, opt for a residence offering one, two or three bedrooms, so that everyone can be together while enjoying their own space. And for a change from your daily routine, why not try an unusual accommodation? Now's the time to fall in love with nature, isn't it? Explore the island's picturesque villages or discover remarkable sites such as the Scandola Reserve to delight your teenagers and awaken their curiosity. Corsica has so much to offer for unforgettable family vacations, where young and old will create precious memories together.
