The "Plateau of the Seven Winds" (French: Plateau des sept vents) near Bastia is not an official place name, but rather a poetic description of a vast hilly plateau above the city – famous for its strong, constantly blowing winds, especially the strongly felt libeccio (west/southwest wind).

🌬️ Brief description:
Location: Above Bastia, in the transition zone between sea and mountain, often part of small ridges with unobstructed views to the northeast and the Mediterranean coast.

Winds: Constantly changing, but mostly west-southwest winds (libeccio), which provide a cool, fresh breeze at night, but also dramatic cloud formations (e.g., lenticular clouds) during the day.

Atmosphere & View: Rugged terrain, with views over the city of Bastia; on clear days, visible all the way to the sea, sometimes even the island of Elba on the horizon.

Character: Ideal for walks or short excursions – more windy and harsh than romantic – perfect for anyone who wants to experience the forces of the weather up close.

In short: The Plateau of the Seven Winds is a windswept panoramic plateau above Bastia, characterized by the Libeccio wind, which offers spectacular views, brisk weather, and an adventurous atmosphere.
