Wonderful place

In my opinion, Bonifacio is the most wonderful place on the island of Corsica and particularly for its cliffs. The city of Bonifacio is located on top of a mountain and has many places from which you can see amazing views, but the best place to discover all the cliffs in this city is a beacon of Pertusato. It is located east of the city and to reach it follow the instructions in various parts of the city. Here they have built a beautiful path full of greenery and flowers of all kinds, colourful magic. In addition, there is also an area where the lighthouse is filled with Pertusato maquis. The maquis is a typical vegetation of the island and consists of small shrubs of a beautiful yellow color.

If you follow this road for about 30 minutes you get to the lighthouse, it offers the best views of all Bonifacio. The cliffs of Bonifacio are really incredible, in some places, you can see pieces of rock that are suspended in the air, bearing the weight of old buildings. The image is colossal, it makes you wonder how the rock is suspended in the air, since it seems that it could collapse at any time. In addition, under these cliffs there are often sandy beaches that add something special to the landscape. I do not know if you can go down to these beaches, I tried to find the way but could not find it, but it must be a marvel to swim alongside the backdrop of the cliffs. The beauty of these cliffs can be seen in many of the typical island postcards. By the way, you can also do a boat trip passing these cliffs, at the port of Bonifacio several agencies offer this.

Great end of the world

Superbe bout du monde

Excellent

Je ne sais pas si on pouvait rêver d'une fin de continent plus jolie que celle que nous offre la vue depuis les falaises blanches de Bonifacio, éclairée par un soleil de plomb une très bonne partie de l'année, dans une région magnifique, le tout situé sur l'Ile de Beauté qui porte très, très bien son nom. Outre le village dont j'ai déjà parlé précédemment et qui lui aussi embellit ce "bout de la terre", les falaises de calcaire qui s'étendent des maisons jusqu'au Capo Pertusato offrent des points de vue incroyables sur la Sardaigne, sur les teintes de bleu affolantes cinquante mètres plus bas et sur toute la région qui est de toute façon d'une beauté fascinante. Mérite totalement le détour depuis Ajaccio même si vous n'aviez pas prévu de descendre plus au sud.

I do not know if we could dream of an end continent prettier than that gives us the view from the white cliffs of Bonifacio, lit by a blazing sun a good part of the year, in a beautiful area, all located on the Island of Beauty wearing very, very aptly named. Besides the village which I mentioned earlier and also beautifies the "end of the earth", the limestone cliffs that extend homes to Capo Pertusato offer incredible views of Sardinia, on shades of blue maddening fifty meters down and the whole region is anyway a fascinating beauty. Totally worth the detour from Ajaccio even if you had not planned to move south.

Bonifacio è la città più a sud della Co...

Bonifacio è la città più a sud della Corsica, ciò che la rende famosa sono soprattutto le sue scogliere bianche visibili anche dal nord della Sardegna. Bonifacio sorge sull'altura di un grande fiordo, le scogliere bianche si tuffano nel mare aperto che guarda verso la Sardegna nelle Bocche di Bonifacio. Tra le alte scogliere, di natura calcarea, un bellissimo sentiero conduce tra la vegetazione mediterranea fatta di mirto e di piccoli cespugli, al limite dell'insenatura regalando panorami mozzafiato. Consiglio vivamente una gita in barca tra i faraglionio e le falesie ed un breve trekking nella scogliera.

Bonifacio is the largest city in the south of Corsica, what makes it especially its famous white cliffs are visible from the north of Sardinia. Bonifacio rises on a large fjord, the white cliffs plunge into the open sea that looks to Sardinia in the Strait of Bonifacio. Among the high cliffs of limestone, a beautiful path leads between the Mediterranean vegetation made of myrtle and small bushes at the edge of the creek offering breathtaking panoramas. I highly recommend a boat trip between faraglionio and the cliffs and a short trek in the cliff.

Dominant les "bouches" à l'extrêmité sud de la Corse , cette ville s'accroche à sa falaise . Elle tient son nom de Boniface II Marquis de Toscane . Vue de la mer cette citadelle semble prolonger en hauteur les falaises crayeuses qui plongent de plus de 70 m dans la mer .On peut s'en approcher en descendant les quelques 187 marches de l'Escalier de Roy directement creusée dans la roche.

Overlooking the "mouths" at the southern end of Corsica, the city clings to a cliff. It takes its name from Marquis Boniface II of Tuscany. View of the sea seems to prolong the citadel high chalky cliffs that plunge more than 70 m in Wed can get close down the few steps to the 187 stairs Roy dug directly into the rock.

La pointe la plus au sud de la Corse cette citadelle typique est construite sur la falaise, rongé par l'érosion, ici c'est la fin du continent français, le début de l'Italie. Haut lieu touristique et haut lieu de pêche en corse, une ville magique suspendue au dessus de la mer méditerranée, un beautée pour les yeux.

The southernmost tip of Corsica this typical citadel is built on the cliff eroded by erosion, here is the end of the French mainland, the beginning of Italy. Tourist mecca and top fishing spot in Corsica, a magical city suspended above the Mediterranean sea, beautée eye.

Bellissima cittadina corsa arroccata sulla roccia bianca.

Incredibile dove sono state costruite le case. Per una visuale migliore fare il giro con la barca, il porto organizza diversi tour. Passeggiata nel centro con tanti negozietti. Da qui si può vedere la Sardegna.

Beautiful Corsican town perched on white rock. Incredible where the houses were built. For a better view of the boat, the port organizes several tours. Walk in the center with many shops. From here you can see Sardinia.

The cliffs of Bonifacio

Les falaises de Bonifaccio

Beaucoup de marches, mais une vue magnifique!!! Ces falaises creusées à même la roche permettent d arriver sur une petite crique. Le jeu de lumières avec le soleil nous emportent loin du continent. Ça vaut le coup^^

Many steps, but a beautiful view! These cliffs carved into the rock to get help on a small creek. The play of light with the sun take us away from the continent. It's worth it ^ ^
