Corsica, a land of culture

From remarkable sites to unique villages, the area holds plenty of surprise for you! From the Romanesque chapels of Castagniccia to the Baroque churches of Bastia, through the fortifications of Bonifacio and the citadel of Calvi, history has left its mark everywhere, even in the most remote villages of the island. But its inhabitants have also set up museums, highlighted archaeological sites, and organised popular music and theatre festivals.

Corsican cultural traditions during the Christmas period: polyphonic singing, bonfires, midnight mass and live nativity scenes.

Christmas in Corsica is a time when religious fervour and village conviviality come together in an atmosphere that transforms the island into a large village of light and prayer. The Christmas celebrations remain deeply rooted in popular culture. Around churches, houses and squares, everyone takes part in preparing bonfires, vigils, nativity scenes and celebrations that punctuate the end of December.
