Tour dei giorni di 13 e delle notti di 12

Spostare By car

Epicurean (adjective): "One who invites pleasure".

The melt-in-your-mouth texture of a slice of brocciu at the end of a meal, the bronze sheen of an olive oil or the sea spray of a cliff... From Bastia to Corte, each stage of this tour reminds you of the richness and intensity of Corsica's terroir. Between market stalls, in a local grocery store or in contact with passionate artisans, the senses are awakened and refined by exceptional products.

Inspire yourself. We'll take care of the rest.
