Corsica, FRANCE with Luxury & Style (4 Days): A Sample Itinerary
ID #: DT-F-4-3-8-11-RAIJ
DavidTravel Itinerary Highlights include:
Corsica is famous for its
independent spirit, rugged beauty, fruit, wine, olive oil, and
as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. This picturesque
island, now under the French, had been ruled by the
Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Goths and Saracens. Learn the
history and stories of this lush island, as you explore its
incredible terrain - Corsica has the highest mountains and the
most rivers of any Mediterranean island. Travel through the
vivid green mountains, pine forests, and acres of citrus
orchards and vineyards. Visit the soft-hued scorched desert
interior, the dramatic limestone cliffs that plunge into the
sea, and the welcoming fishing villages. All of Corsica’s
natural beauty is surrounded by more than 600 miles of glorious
coastline – wrapped up like a package waiting for you to open
and discover.
France - the world's most popular tourist destination - can
confidently claim to offer it all, from glamorous beaches and
storybook castles to panoramic countryside and city chic. It's a
country of dramatic juxtapositions - the expansive boulevards of
Paris, the timeless greenery of the Loire Valley, the wide
slopes of the Alps, the lavender fields of Provence, the gourmet
restaurants of Lyon, the rugged charm of Corsica - and one
which, when taken as a whole, presents a near-perfect visitor
package.
Paris itself is one of the globe's truly great cities: a
multi-layered realm of high fashion, historical riches and haute
cuisine. But seen in a wider context, it's just one of many
world-class tourist destinations that France has to offer. "How
could one describe a country which has 365 kinds of cheese?"
once asked former French president Charles De Gaulle. It's a
good question.
