Saint-Florent is the starting point of the beach path that stretches the length of the Agriates coast, 40 km of which is protected by the Conservatoire du Littoral. It is an amzing universe of stony scrub-covered hills punctuated by torrnets. A land of wind and sun where the only traces of human life are found in the "pagliaghji" that provide shelter for shepherds and their sheep. In the spring, the fragrance of the maquis is at its finest on the edge of the beaches of Roya, Lodo and Saleccia that are great to cross on foot, horseback or bicycle. Cap Corse begins north of Bastia. A sharp mountain ridge 40 km long heading north, it is a land of sailors and fishermen. A coastal road takes you right over the ridge and affords spectacular views at each twist and turn. Explore Nonza and its Genoese watchtower that are certainly worth a postcard, along with Centuri shich is a beautiful little port with crysta-clear waters. From here the customs trail takes you along the coast to Macinaggio. Explore the nature reserve of Finocchiarola with the Audoin gulls and the Sainte Marie and Tamarone beaches. There is also the picturesque fishing village of Erbalunga where, in the 30s, many painters came and set up their easels. TO SEE - From Bastia, why not treat yourself to a trip to Cardo, a village nestled against a lush backdrop with commanding views over the town and Cap Corse. Take a photo of the Genoese watchtowers of Cap Corse, particularly the one at Nonza, a charming little coastal village, and the watchtower known as Seneca's tower where, on clear days, you can see across to the Italian coast. Participate in the Lavasina pilgrimage that draws together thousands of faithful followers on 8 September. At Sisco, admire the "palazzi americani", beautiful residences belonging to people from Cap Corse that emigrated to South America. In the church of Tomino you will find a beautiful display of sea offerings and everywhere you go, you will find beautiful Roman chapels with pure and simple lines, for example, the churches of Santa-Maria Assunta at Canari and the church of Saint Michel at Sisco, a masterpiece from the 21st century. TO TASTE - The famous Cap Corse and Patrimonio wines, two AOCs (Wines with guarantee of origin) that in addition to the red, white and rosé wines also produce two sweet wines, one white, one red which are quite rare. A wine fair is held on the first weekend in July in Luri.
