The visit was nice the walk was not too long but we were able to take some nice pictures the guides served us a friendly aperitif but what I preferred was when we left with this magnificent sunset and Corsican songs

We loved being able to go at our own pace. The electric bikes were great, and the trip to "the tower" was delightful. Things got a little "hairy" in town with the traffic, but we were able to navigate it.

eBikes made all the difference. A little picky about saying we had damaged the bikes, even though the damage was caused cause the kick stand was broken. Easy starting out.

Beautiful boat-trip! The moment of the sunset including the music was amazing. The boat is quite fast :-)

Top to admire the coast from the sea and to dock at the Sanguinary Islands.
