TOWN PRESENTATION

The territory of Bonifacio has an exceptional location at the southern tip of Corsica integrating all along its coast, the international marine park Corso-Sarde. Bonifacio is known and recognized by its medieval heritage exceptional perched on a limestone cliff by the sea looking at the horizon in a delightful setting. This bastion of the sea invites contemplation, the fascination, the spell.

These famous cliffs, sometimes limestone, sometimes of granite, forming a vast natural façade that faces the islands of Lavezzi and Cerbicales, famous for their exceptional seabed. Bonifacio is also a single marina, sheltered from all winds around a deep cove (called bottleneck). It is a starting point for exploring the sea caves and the archipelagos of islands by sea excursions


SIGHTSEEING

A bastion of the sea: a history always on time.

At the turn of a road reveals the rock Bonifacio imposing and protector.

Imagine a knight through the door of Genoa 12 centuries old, discover a charming city, fascinating ... but above all enchanting!

We did not visit Bonifacio we abandon it and it is this unconscious spell that brings the visitor to stroll like a tightrope over the millennia walls steeped in history. One looks in vain for what causes this sentiment particularly from the Upper City to the Navy, the windy cliffs in the protective shadow of the citadel.

Narrow streets, small squares of districts invite a leisurely stroll that will continue on the heights of cliffs dotted with plunging views of the lower city and its navy.
