For prehistory enthusiasts

Day 7: Bonifacio
The mountain village of Porto-Vecchio and its radiant lake
On the way to the first small mountain village at an altitude of 900 metres, where the people of Porto-Vecchio traditionally came to spend the summer, sheltered from the heat. A little higher up, nestled in the heart of a forest of Lariccio pines, alders and poplars, a dam creates an enchanting setting.

Visit dazzling Bonifacio, like a fjord where luxurious yachts and magnificent sailing boats are moored, home to a bustling marina full of restaurants and lively bars; and high above—high heels strongly discouraged for the climb—a Citadel with steep, characteristic alleyways where the houses balance precariously on the edge of the chalk cliffs.

Optional: Boat trip
Catamaran in Bonifacio: half-day trip to the Lavezzi Islands
Set sail for an unforgettable half-day trip in a small group, aboard a comfortable catamaran, combining active sailing, relaxation and exploration. The attentive skipper will tailor the itinerary with you according to your preferences and the day’s weather.
Set sail for the Lavezzi, Cavallo and Ratino Islands or the majestic cliffs of Bonifacio. Masks, snorkels and paddleboards are available so you can make the most of the anchorages. You can even help with the manoeuvres, adjust the sails or keep an eye out for dolphins!

The incomparable melt-in-the-mouth texture of aubergines à la Bonifacienne
This iconic restaurant in the citadel serves Corsican and Bonifacian cuisine in highly unusual dining rooms: choose to dine in an ancient vaulted room lined with stone, or high above the sea with a breathtaking view of the cliffs and Sardinia. The incomparable melt-in-the-mouth texture of aubergines à la Bonifacienne will delight your taste buds. It is a local speciality that you won’t find anywhere else.
