Diane Tour

Highlight • Monument

Nice destination for a hike on the Étang Diane. There is a rope hanging from the old Genoese tower, so you can climb it at your own risk. Great view of the cape from the tower.

Maquis at Étang de Diane

Highlight • Forest

Behind the tower there is a hiking trail that leads you through the typical Corsican maquis. It smells, it rustles, it spikes ;)
In addition, there are always panoramic views …
