パルティネロの峡谷・トップ8

Great and much visited rock formations that appear very reddish in the sun

The Calanche de Piana with its rugged, surreal mountain landscape made of red rock is one of the most beautiful roads in Corsica and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accordingly, it is very busy. It is best to come here in the early morning or in the evening, when it is not so busy and the light is beautiful on the red rock.

A must-see place, one of the most beautiful places in Corsica. The road is often busy with tourists, but no problem for cyclists.

One of the most beautiful corners of Corsica, cycled kilometers without seeing a car

The absolute highlight is the heart.

The gorges of the Spelunca are crossed by the stream of Tavulella which takes the name of Porto port in the Corsican language at the exit of the gorges. In its crossing, the Tavulella is fed by the waters of the Aïtone stream, the point of confluence being located downstream of the Genoese bridge of Zaglia. The gorges offer vertiginous landscapes, dominated by a huge rock at the top of which is said to have existed in the place called U Castellu, the Leca castle destroyed in the 17th century according to local legend.

The mule trail starts from the D84 road at the west entrance of Évisa at 850 m altitude. It takes the long hiking trail Tra Mare e Monti which connects Calenzana in the north to Cargèse in the south, via Ota and Évisa. It passes over the bridge of Zaglia spanning the stream of Tavulella. The path ends (on the Ota side) at the place called "the 2 bridges", where the D124 road crosses the Tavulella river and the Lonca stream.

We know with what fervor Mary has been venerated in Corsica since the 4th century, according to historians, and much earlier than in the rest of the Christian world. She is officially the protector of the island. The Cunsulta de Corte on January 30, 1735 decreed a national holiday on September 8, the day of the Immaculate Conception.
