Enjoy a drink or a meal under the trees with a magnificent view and a light breeze. A quiet and relaxing place. A fountain for water bottles and refreshments!

A footbridge installed on a rocky peak offers breathtaking 180° views, a veritable balcony between the sea and the mountains. As a bonus, a giant sculpture by Richard Orlinski will be on display until October 2025.

It's really worth driving over the small pass south of Cap du Corse. The panoramic view from up here is breathtaking.
