Corte
Corte is a small town in the mountainous heart of Corsica, approximately 40 kilometres east of Bastia.
The main places of interest in Corte are the citadel, and the Museum of Corsica (and of course the charm of the village itself).
After ambling along the 'high-street' it is to the 'upper town' where you will head, following the narrow steep streets up the hill to the citadel, perched improbably on top of a large rocky promontory.
There is a viewing platform from which the best views of the citadel are found, along with the best views of the mountains and countryside that surround Corte.
The University of Corsica is also based at Corte - and has 2,500 students in a total population of less than 7,000.
While at Corte, do make sure you get out into the magnificent surrounding countryside. The D936 follows the Gorges de la Restonica south from the town, and are easily accessible for non-walkers. If you are of sterner stuff, head west from town (on foot) towards the Gorges du Tavignano.
