Bonifacio Fortress: Beats The Beauty - Corsica France

Bonifacio Fortress: Beats The Beauty - Corsica France


Bonifacio hangs onto the southwest tip of Corsica, an isolated and captivating port that beats every other Corsican town into a dull pulp. Split into two parts, the haute ville is a short though steep walk up from the ville basse, but worth it as inside the walls is the place to eat, drink and be merry. Ville basse restaurants take advantage of visitor sloth to over-price and under-provide but a five minute hike elevates you to a different world.

Its inhabitants are called Bonifaciens, feminine Bonifaciennes. The commune in this case is identical to the canton and is the largest commune of Corsica.
