Hôtel des Gouverneurs

All year round or only in summer depending on the routes concerned, Bastia, the main city in Upper Corsica, is particularly well serviced by Air Corsica with several direct flights.

The City of Art and History, Bastia also a coastal resort highly appreciated for its favoured environment.

Absolute must-sees in the city and its surroundings: the old port of Terra Vecchia for its authenticity, its unique charm and ease of living, the Genoese Palais des Gouverneurs (former Genoese citadel turned local history Museum), the Terra Nova citadel, an imposing structure dominating the city and, in a chequerboard of distinctive little streets, sheltering the Sainte Marie de l’Assomption cathedral, the Sainte Croix oratory, the round way, the powder keg, etc. Bastia also houses the church of Saint Jean-Baptiste : the largest in Corsica !
