David, I'm not very knowledgeable on Cap Corse walks, but I'm sure some group members will suggest something. In the meantime I'd suggest three "must-dos" for...
Mac, Thanks for those suggestions. Your help is much appreciated. Any further suggestions from other people would also be very welcome. My question about...
Hi David I'd suggest a few walks 1. Sentier de Douaniers - you can do this at various stages - one of the best is just north from Maccinaggio and you will be...
Hi Carol, Thanks a bunch for those great ideas. It's now too late for me to order maps in the UK. Do you think that they will be readily available in Calvi? ...
Hi David Yes you should be able to - there's quite a good bookshop that sells maps on the Boulevard Wilson towards the Citadelle end. You can buy them GPS...
Should be no problem getting the standard IGN maps in Calvi. Worth checking out the French walking books too, coupled with a map you'll soon sort things out....
David, I'd support everything that the others have said. You can buy IGN maps very easily in many places on the island, so I wouldn't worry about ordering...
Although David + spouse will be in Corsica now, I would fully endorse the previous suggestions regarding walking in the Restonica valley near Corte. This is...

David: It is safe to leave the car in any of the villages. When you arrive at Castel Brando, which by the way is an excellent hotel, you may ask there of...

I know of a Paoli, Wisconsin. A small town of about 50 people, with a fabulous cheese shop. It's located about 20 miles west of Madison, Wisconsin. On 14 Jun...
Hello everybody. I am going to be in Corsica for two weeks from tomorrow, where I won't have daily access to the Internet. So I have asked my son John, who...
Hi Isy There's also a Paoli, Indiana with a population of c.4000 (which seems to have numerous websites, although no explanatory historical background, from my...

Mac, Hope you have a great time in Lumio! Meant to tell you earlier- congrats on taking over the rains (or is that reins) of Will's masterpiece. Nice to know...
I've heard that filling stations are few and far between on the island. I haven't been able to find a map with filling stations marked - grateful if anyone can...
Hi Martin Not aware of any maps that show filling stations but can reassure you that they are not desparately scarce. You'll find several in each of the main...
Everyone's been very helpful on this site and I have, I hope, just one more question. I decided to take the ferry from Nice to Bastia, Corsica. But I'm...
Hi Martin- agree with Carol we hired a car last year and didn't have any trouble finding a filling station but as Carol said make sure you have enough if you...
There is no lack of filling stations on the island, however, especially in the smaller towns they will often close for lunch, which means noon to 3pm or 1pm...
Ports adjacent to the old town, airports next to the sea , out of town from Promenade des Anglais. It's a bus ride to town & then a bus or a walk to the port....
I am now back in the UK following two weeks on your favorite island. Thanks for looking after the Lista, John! During our stay we arranged for a telephone...
Hi Mac, Welcome back. We read all the advice ref walking in Corsica and did all of your 'must-dos'. During the day devoted to the Cirque de Bonifatu, we...
David, I am pleased that the information was useful - and I agree that Occhi does not feature in books (and Balagne tourism in general) as much as it should. I...
