Haute Corse

Haute-Corse is the northern department of the island of Corsica, and is best viewed on foot or from the Train de la Balagne which provides travel between the beaches and resorts. It’s got little harbour villages, with museums and colourful buildings, and in Calvi you can go horse-back riding along the coast and out into the shallow waves. Book your place on a boat trip, and capture the coastline on camera, before visiting one of the great seafood restaurants at any of the top tourist resorts. At night, those little harbour villages are even more spectacular with lights that dance over the water. Haute-Corse gîte holidays are perfect for a romantic break with beaches, fine foods and plenty of natural beauty spots for long and leisurely strolls
