The wealth of tourist interest in this island is indisputably its natural heritage.

Corsica is nothing like the image we have of a Mediterranean island. In fact, no other Mediterranean island has Corsica's lushness. With its conservation areas and nature reserves which have been given national recognition or registered on Unesco's world heritage list, its International marine reserve, and its Regional Nature Reserve which stretches from one side to the other of its mountain range, from Calvi to Porto-Vecchio, Corsica remains for the most part a protected island. With more than 2000 plant species, Corsica will dazzle you with colour.

Five nature reserves protect some unique flora and fauna with the Cerbicale Isles that provide a sanctuary for crested cormorants,the Lavezzi Isles where 68 species of fish have been recorded, the Finocchiarola and Scandola Isles that are France's leading land and sea reserve, and the Biguglia lagoon where 127 species of aquatic birds nest.

In the spring everything is in bloom and the maquis is at its most fragrant, autumn is also a delight when the chestnut harvest is celebrated in the hilltop villages, making Corsica a delight to explore whatever the season.
