We ensure regular breaks, never driving for more than half an hour at a time. Picnic by the water, with opportunities for swimming depending on the season and weather. Cap Corse, with its authentic maritime tradition, is a perfect snapshot of Corsica’s charm. Its rugged coastline, breathtaking coves, beaches, churches, watchtowers, and mountains plunging into the sea, along with the grand "American houses" and impressive mausoleums, make the complete tour of Cap Corse truly captivating. Our minibus accesses small harbors and narrow roads that larger buses can't, revealing hidden gems often missed by tourists. Cap Corse, spanning just 12 to 18 kilometers wide and 30 to 40 kilometers long, is unique for its maritime history. Unlike other parts of Corsica, where agriculture or livestock were predominant, Cap Corse turned to the sea for economic activities. The region's wealth led to the construction of monumental funerary chapels for the deceased, as Corsica traditionally allows burials outside cemeteries. Some of these chapels are impressive mausoleums. Additionally, emigration to the Americas inspired returning Corsicans to build striking neocolonial-style mansions, known today as the "American houses."
