Dear all, I am going to Corsica with my wife & mother-in-law this September. We would like to spend a week in the mountains near Vizzavona, but finding...

Dear Dorian, thanks for the quick reply. I've actually tried Gite de France already - but I only searched their Central Corsica region, forgetting that they...
Hi John www.holidayrentals.co.uk <http://www.holidayrentals.co.uk/> Is usually quite good, used them 3 or 4 times (not just on Corsica) and always been...
Dear Carol, thanks for the suggestion. One interesting thing about this site: they have given Corsica to Italy! Hold the cursor over the island on this map.......

Is there anyone who lives in Corsica that can help me find this guy's telephone number: Samuel Pierre Pascalini or Paschalini or pascali. He may live on the...
Hello all... I've been trying to translate these lyrics for about a week but no much luck so far. I do have a sense of the "general idea" (speaking Spanish...
Paul I've got a third version, and have attempted a translation (with help from an intermediate French translation which I've left out): Eramu in campu...
Hello Alison! Many thanks for your feedback! So 3 different versions so far. Actually, make that 4, since the track (MP3) I have is made of the 3 first stanzas...
Hello my fiancee and I are planning on staying 10 days in Corsica (last week of August, first week of September), and we love scuba diving. Our idea is to plan...
In my (limited) experience it's pretty endangered- although road signs and so on are in Corsican as well as French, and there are some token gestures in...

Many thanks Alison & Andy for all the links, this is great... I'll spend many hours checking them all! Sad as you say that it's not possible to take some...
Alison I'm glad to hear that Corsican is in better health than I had feared. Thanks for the links - especially Corsica magazine. It looks well worth the price...
Hello Alice... How odd, just today at lunch I was reading a Corsica travel guide and came upon the "diving" section (about a page long) with all the diving...
Andy I absolutely agree it would be great to see the kind of official status for Corsican that Welsh has, it's what so many Corsicans (and not just the ...

The French are worried about the death of French, not the death of regional languages, because they see the truth that language makes a nationalism. French...
Hey all! All this talk about Corsican language frustrates me! :) I just wish will all my heart that they would speak it more. It's really a beautiful...
Rosie I don't know which Corsican language package you tried - could it have been Perfettini, which is quite basic? If so (and you haven't looked at these ...
Rosie Are you sure about this? I've had a look on youtube.com and the only comments I could see to this effect were in Italian and were more likely to have...
Hi Rosie... No need for an "identity crisis". As far as I know, Corsicans consider themselves Corsican above all ("French" being rather an administrative and...
