The Bastion de France is one of the most impressive relics of the Genoese fortifications in Porto-Vecchio's old town. Located right on the edge of the historic citadel, the massive stone structure testifies to the city's strategic importance as a trading and military base in the Mediterranean. Once used to defend and monitor the harbor, the bastion now offers sweeping views across the bay and surrounding landscape. However, the bastion may be closed to visitors outside of peak season.
