Corsica | Expert Panel: The Mountain in the Sea That Defies Expectations

Today, we're heading to Corsica, a rugged island in the Mediterranean where the scent of wild herbs drifts through the air. Though it's part of France, Corsica feels entirely its own, shaped by centuries of independence, Italian influence, and a deep connection to land and tradition. There's a phrase often used to describe the island: a mountain in the sea. And it's not just poetic, it's literal. Nearly two thirds of Corsica is mountainous, which has shaped everything from how people live to the fiercely independent spirit the island is known for today. Joining me today are Frédéric de Coral, founder of Elux France, and Nathalie Bar, a Corsica based expert who knows every corner of the island. We talk about the culture, history, landscapes, and experiences that make Corsica such a special and surprising destination. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this journey to Corsica.   Looking to book a luxury hotel?
