THE MAQUIS SCENTED THE SEA…

It is at the gates of the beautiful city of Calvi that you can admire the Revellata peninsula, a rocky promontory lined with beaches and intimate and wild coves. Also, its spectacular cliffs represent a unique mineral element of Balagne.

More than a preserved space, the Revellata is above all a place of history as evidenced, for example, by the ruins of the house of Prince Pierre-Napoleon Bonaparte. Moreover, the first traces of human occupation even date back to the Neolithic period. Also, the dry stone walls that you will find on your way are proof of the peninsula's agricultural past as well.

A cape, a peninsula? yes, and a refuge too…

La Revellata is, moreover, a high place of biodiversity because of its rocky habitats which constitute a shelter for fauna and flora.

Indeed, maritime cliffs and rocky coasts are full of rare, endemic and protected plant species such as Armeria Soleirolii. Now take the time to look up at the sky. You will be able to admire the flight of the remarkable species that have found refuge in this site of great beauty. Ospreys, crested cormorants… and gulls will punctuate your walk in this preserved place. Until the 1960s, one of the last groups of monk seals in Corsica had even taken up residence in one of the caves. Calvais people have therefore nicknamed it “the cave of sea calves”.
