Balagne consists of a coastal part situated between Calvi and the North of L'Île-Rousse, and from an inland countryside with hills overhanging the sea. Formerly nicknamed the "garden of Corsica", Balagne still carries very well its name. Indeed, this magnificent region abounds of fig trees, oliveraies, orchards and palm trees. It is also dotted with beautiful hilltop villages with narrow streets and typical houses, such as Sant'Antonino, Speloncato, Pigna, Lumio, Aregno, Belgodère and many others. It is also the occasion to visit magnificent baroque churches, such as that of Lumio and Corbara.

The craftsmen road of Balagne is an invitation to discover the local traditions and know-how.
