It's a beach town on the northern part of the island, founded by Pasquale Paoli in 1758 as a rival to Calvi.
The harbor comes with its own mermaid.
It's a popular place for celebrities and those looking to dock their expensive yachts.
Promenade de la Marinella starts in town and winds its way east to the beaches.
Ile de la Pietra just north of town has a lighthouse
and a Genoese watchtower.
The Old Town is charming, complete with a covered food market.
Stop and pick up some canistrelli at biscuiteries in town.
Canistrelli are Corsican cookies, similar to the Italian biscotti. A 250 g bag at Salvatori was €8.50. We tried the natur, salted caramel and anise and liked the anise the best.
Stroll on old paving stones in the Old Town
and admire the numerous sculptures.
