Here you can meet more turtles, kites and jays than cars. The trail is partly similar to a deserted bike path, the grass slowly gets back on the road, but the surface is still 99% perfect for the road bike. Pure nature and pleasure trail as a highlight.

This was a great segment thank you. No cars (one of the unfortunate things about Corsica is the number of extremely aggressive and inconsiderate drivers). Beautiful country & good in either direction.

"Sigi" deserves great praise for creating this segment. It is actually lonely, car-free and very, very beautiful. We call it "Forgotten Highway" because people have forgotten the cars on the street.
TOP recommendation.
