Corsica's Saint Tropez
Tucked away on Corsica’s northern coast, Saint Florent is a charming seaside escape offering gorgeous beaches, delectable cuisine, and a laid-back yet chic vibe. Often called the ‘Saint Tropez of Corsica,’ this hidden gem has everything you need for a perfect Mediterranean getaway.
Kick off your holiday with a wander through the historic old town, where you’ll find cobbled streets, quaint shops, and the impressive Genoese Citadel. This 15th-century fortress is a must-see, offering panoramic views of the Gulf of Saint-Florent. When it’s time to hit the beach, you’re spoilt for choice.

Hop on a boat to Saleccia Beach in the Agriates Desert – its dazzling white sands and turquoise waters are nothing short of incredible.
Foodies, rejoice! Saint-Florent is home to fantastic restaurants serving up freshly caught seafood, Corsican delicacies, and wines from the nearby Patrimonio vineyards. Think buttery grilled fish, rich charcuterie, and cheese so good it might ruin all others for you.
Fancy a bit of adventure? Explore the Agriates Desert on foot or by 4x4 – its rugged landscapes and hidden beaches will blow you away. Or, take a scenic drive around Cap Corse, a peninsula filled with picturesque villages and jaw-dropping coastal views.
