Sant Antonino

Corsica also has Les Plus Beaux Villages (the most beautiful villages) designations. We were hoping to get breakfast at a boulangerie but couldn't find any in town.

These are small rural villages with a population less than 2000 and with at least 2 national heritage sites.

Sant Antonio was such a site in Corsica. It's a hilltop village located in northwest Corsica, just 30 minutes from Calvi.

The village has narrow lanes and steep paths.

as well as vaulted passageways.

Next to the car park is the Church of Annunciation, which dates from the 11th century. It has a 4-story bell tower.

Inside of the church. Pretty elaborate for a village of 2000.
