Saint-Florent is also known as "the Corsican Saint-Tropez" because of its Mediterranean flair. In the 1970s, Saint-Florent was a place for the jet set. The town is located high in the northwest of the island of Corsica on the Gulf of the same name between the almost uninhabited Désert des Agriates and Cap Corse.

Saint-Florent dates back to a small settlement that once arose in the protection area of the Genoese round fortress. The citadel was built by the Genoese in 1440 and served as the seat of the Bishop of Nebbio and the governor's palace until the 18th century. The small Pianese church from the 12th century, Santa Maria Assunta, was built as a cathedral for the then diocese of Nebbio.
