Vibrant and proud, Corsica spreads a perfume of freedom for those who know how to breathe it in.
Envy of independence? We suggest an electric bike tour that takes you at your own pace along the island's most beautiful roads. A village tucked away in the hinterland, a sheepfold tucked away in the scrubland or a panorama not mentioned in any of the major guidebooks: take a taste of the detour with Corsicatours.
In short version (280 km) or long version (390 km).
