Corsica is the fourth largest island in the
Mediterranean and one of the 26 provinces of France. It is located southeast of
the Cote d'Azur north from the Italian
island of Sardinia.
By French law Corsica has greater autonomy
than other regions, but has been an integral part of France since 1768.
In the capital is the house of Napoleon
Bonaparte, which since 1967 has been converted into a national museum.
From the beginning of the 20th century to the
present day, Corsica is one of the most exclusive resorts in the Mediterranean.
Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio in the south and Calvi in the north of the island
are the most famous tourist destinations, but also the most expensive.
A National Park has been established on the
island since 1972, protecting endemic animal species, especially Corsican red
deer.
In addition to tourism, residents produce a
few more notable products, including chestnut bread, cheese, wine, sausages and
honey.
In Corsica there is the famous GR20 lane which
attracts active tourism lovers from all over the world.
