Bastia, a business destination

Route of the senses – Strada di I Sensi

The calm, the pure air, the landscapes, the paths, the scrub... So many reasons to discover Corsica from the inside. But what would this discovery be without meeting those who, in all seasons, by their work and their sense of welcome and sharing, express the soul of the island.

The Route des Sens Authentiques offers you the privilege of discovering the richness and variety of Corsica’s terroir, while admiring the remarkable skills of our farmers and craftsmen.

Nearly 500 producers, united around a demanding quality charter and keen to share their love of the land, open the doors of their farms and workshops to you.

All over the island, they are signposted by Odarc (Corsica’s agricultural and rural development office). By following the signs, you can enjoy a gourmet break or a “discovery stop”.

If you’re up for a tour of Corsica, you can go from the old-fashioned charm of Cap-Corse to the baroque joy of Bastia; from the majesty of Haut-Nebbiu to the vineyards plunging into the Gulf of Saint-Florent, Grand Site de Conca d’Or, awarded the “Grand site de France” label in 2017.

Then the Niolu, “Land of the shepherds”, will fascinate you, as will the remarkable citadel of Corte. The proud Balagne region will reveal its olive groves, almond orchards and flocks of sheep… Continuing on towards Galeria, a jagged coastline will take you to the Gulf of Porto, tinted red by unique, flamboyant sunsets.

And further south, the Liamone plain, a fertile wetland in the heart of the Gulf of Sagone, will lead you to Ajaccio, the Imperial city. After a tour of the unspoilt Gravona and Prunelli valleys, you’ll climb to the Col St Georges and the verdant Taravu valley. Passing through “the most Corsican of all…”, Sartène, you will plunge into the fascinating Ortolu valley to reach Bonifacio, the “guardian”, with its mythical limestone ramparts, and Porto-Vecchio, the city of salt, which will surprise you with its rich agricultural activity.

From here, you’ll climb up to the Alta Rocca, the “Land of the Lords”, then join the north of Corsica via the opulent eastern plain, not forgetting the villages of Fium’Orbu, Costa Verde, Casinca and Castagniccia which crown it and each of which has a story to tell.

Corsica invites you to eat and drink from an infinite palette of colours and flavours. Don’t hesitate, come and savour Corsica and prepare your stay in a unique way on the Route des Sens Authentiques.
