Corsica - Individual and Never Alone

The spirit of Corsica is epitomized in the legend of her national hero, Pasquale Paoli. Pasquale Paoli led a patriotic Corsican uprising leading to the first democratic republic of the modern age, including the first modern constitution and women’s suffrage. This spirit of patriotism and independence flourishes in Corsica to this day, creating a small community of idealists on large island with fiery Italian passion, sensual French sensibilities and a sense of neighborliness all its own. This is the place for the passionate to vacation.

Corsica is the perfect place to visit. It is even a more perfect place to stay. Where else in the world can you find exquisite food from all over Europe, energizing French nightlife and abandoned beaches with private coves secreted away all within a few miles of one another? Nowhere, I would contend.

During the day Corsica wears the mask of gentility and civilization like a boxer might wear a silk glove. At night, however, the gloves come off and a visitor is hit with a straight right: fiery music reveals the bandit past of the island. One might be inspired to dance. If one were, one would not find himself alone.
