Spring in Corsica

Corsica, a popular summer destination, is even more enchanting in spring, offering a peaceful escape with fewer crowds. The island’s maquis bursts into colour and fragrance, and the weather is ideal for outdoor adventures. Spring is also a more affordable time to visit, with lower prices for accommodation and transport, especially if you travel outside of school holidays.

Corsica’s diverse landscapes, rich culture, and authentic charm await you. Enjoy quiet beaches, scenic bike or car tours, and indulge in local delicacies from markets filled with seasonal products. Plus, with more time to spend with visitors, hosts will happily share their best recommendations. Take advantage of off-season deals and explore Corsica's beauty at a more relaxed pace
