Pictures of Corsica

[Sonia59]

I have been on holiday in Corsica in September. It took me time to post some pictures but here they are!
Most places are in the northern part of the Island, around Calvi, one of the main towns.

L'Ile Rousse:

And for the last, on the left of the picture, the beach where I spent some time enjoying the sun and transparent blue water:



Hope you enjoyed!

No, Napoléon was born in Ajaccio, in the South of the Island.

But Calvi is thought to be the town where Christopher Columbus (sorry for the English orthograph, I am not sure of it) was born, although highly controversial, because several cities in Italy and Spain also claim for it!
