From Corsica to Tuscany

Because of Corsica’s ideal location on the Med, one can easily and inexpensively visit France and Italy by traveling to and from the island via ferry.

The Long Road to Corsica

Instead of flying directly to Corsica via Paris this year, I decided to fly to London and use the savings for a little road trip through France. We stopped in Paris, spent three days in Caen, visiting the landing beaches of Normandy (Juno and Omaha) and Mont St. Michel, and from there continued to La Rochelle and Carcassonne.
