[@Nubianette]

Now, I really want to go to Corsica! I think it would be fun to take a ferry from Marseille.

[@januslog]

It’s super beautiful Definitely worth a trip

[@ЛюбомирСтоянов-э9щ]

[@januslog]

Thank you It’s one of my favorite places 👍🌺

[@DjemoGraphic]

Hey Janus. How have you been? Amazing video! Ive never been to Corsica yet. When will u revisit Switzerland?

[@januslog]

Thank you, it’s an amazing place to visit! Highly recommend 👍😊

[@DjemoGraphic]

@@januslog yup. I want some day!

[@haubenmeisewillow-tit331]

Bastia has a splendid food marked on Saturday, I think! Best local Ham we ever tasted! ❤ Update 2024 This year we discovered, that the food marked is also on Sunday, not all the same vendors! Plus a Brocante/Fleamarked and normal non food, lots of "Island rags" 👗🩱🩳😃 on the big Placa St. Nicola down by the ferrys. Corsica je-❤️

It’s indeed so beautiful

[@davidaskew2959]

Excellent video guided tour. To answer your ? Vallée de Fango that finishes in the bay Galeria, with a camping on the beach with freshwater lagoon, a short distance from the beach. Am writing a book about that summer. Thanks again.

[@januslog]

That’s indeed a big omission! Tango valley is a must visit when in the north east of the island I’ve been there many times Thank you for the reminder 👍😊

[@NegyedMisi]

Great video, we'll definitely use most of these tips for our trip in mid-June combined with Sardinia.

[@januslog]

Thank you! Happy travels 🌺

Hello Janus, How have you been doing? Hope you have been well and traveling happy. Thank you for all these great video's and all your time. Excellent work. 😊👍🏻

[@januslog]

Hi Paul, it’s great to hear from you! I’m doing well thank you. Hope all is well too. Looking forward to more travels this summer 😅👍

[@PP-ob8zr]

Thanks Janus Always nice to hear from you too. Besafe out there my friend...Very glad to know you doing well. Safe travels.😊👍🏻

[@haubenmeisewillow-tit331]

Sarténe is also the model of the village in "Asterix in Corsica" :))

[@januslog]

I did not know that but can see why they chose Sartene. Thanks for the additional info!

[@mulatokudzava7797]

Very nice!

[@januslog]

Thank you! I appreciate 🌺

[@nebulanebu5345]

Free Corsica ✌️

[@mrz5705]

I lost my good friend Henri in Corsica on the 1986 'Tour de Corse' so tragic...!

[@januslog]

I'm very sorry to hear. Corsica was fantastic in the 80s though... quite untouched.

[@CrisXing]

Hi, Sir J! To answer your question, "what is my favorite place in Corsica?" , my biased answer would be Bonifacio. 😂✨️ Thanks for sharing another wonderful vid. 🫶🏻

[@januslog]

Thank you Cris, yes, Bonifacio is indeed such a cool city due to the dramatic location on the high cliffs 👍😊

[@CrisXing]

@@januslog Sir, the name of that place in Corsica is same as the last name of the "Father of Philippine Revolution" against Spain, Andres Bonifacio. 😅☺️✨️ BGC, in Taguig was a former military fort named after him..

[@januslog]

@@CrisXing oooh, of course!! I didn’t make the connection. I learned a lot about Bonifacio and the liberation struggle when I was in Manila

[@ReisenmitJally]

Thanks for the nice video! How did you manage the drone flights. It seems, that some of the spots require a special permit. Can you recommend me a way to as or permits at the authorities?

[@januslog]

Thank you very much Most locations are no problem. For a few you will need to request permission through the app. I used a DJI drone and requested it through there

[@angelitac.7743]

I’m from Puerto Rico my great grandfather was born in Corcica I don’t know exactly what part. Is there a way for me to find out? All I know is that his last name was Lagomarsini, and that a lot of men migrated to PR. I would love to visit the place where he was born.

[@januslog]

It’s difficult to know where he was from. Maybe there are some local people who may know where some families are from but I wouldn’t know where to start. But Corsica is certainly worth a visit and I’m sure you would very much enjoy a trip there

[@gert.t]

Nice as always Janus! Maby going to Sardinia after this? 🌼😀

[@januslog]

Thank you Gert, I’d love to see Sardinia as well - I’ve never been. But planning a trip to Italy so hopefully will cover then 👍

[@Lucdh]

Love your vlog! Where did you rent the 4x4 to visit Saleccia beach?

[@januslog]

Thanks so much Luc! I was able to explore with a private 4x4.

It’s indeed such a lovely place 👍

)Contrary to popular belief, Normandy was not the first French region liberated from German occupation in 1944 following the Anglo-American landing but the first French region liberated from German occupation was Corsica, Napoleon’s homeland, in September 1943 and it was exclusively by the French army commanded by General Giraud embarked by the French navy with the help of the resistance of the partisans of the"Indeed, the British and American governments not wanting to withdraw troops fighting in Italy at the same time, disapproved of General Giraud’s initiative and did not provide him with any troops. But taking advantage of the neutrality of the Italian troops stationed in Corsica after the armistice demanded by Italy in september 8 ;1943, the French soldiers and partisans managed to force the German troops to leave the island ;

[@januslog]

I did not know this either! Super interesting!

[@domitiusafer]

@@januslog Despite their initial opposition to the liberation of Corsica, The British and American staffs were then happy to have in Mediterranea near the French coasts a real natural aircraft carrier from where they could send their planes to bomb the French territory occupied by the Germans. . French writer and pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry left Borgo in Corsica for his last mission from which he never returned, his plane having been shot down in the Mediterranean

Merci beaucoup Henri 👍

[@flipli]

Wow ❤

[@januslog]

Thank you for watching

[@irenezadonska462]

What town would recommend as a base to explore this island for seven nights?

[@januslog]

Great question. It depends what you are most interested in and how you want to structure the trip. If you’re into mountains and hiking, I would stay in or around Corte. From there, you can do day trips to the coastal areas. If you’re more into beaches, then the beaches around Calvi in the north and some of the Douthern beach towns might be best. But from either of these places you would need to take a 2-3 day trip to the other parts of the island.

Viva la Corsica libera. Viva Pasquale Paoli.

[@Carole0071]

Hello How long it took you to do this itinerary?

[@januslog]

I went for 2 weeks and took my time. You can do the trip in a week but it will be a bit rushed.

[@DannyYatom0909]

The French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte probably belonged to Corsica.

[@januslog]

Yes, Napoleon is a big deal in Corsica and he’s definitely seen as the perhaps most famous Corsican that ever lived

[@michaelv1394]

My wife and I are planning on visiting in October. Did you feel safe on your visit? I'm a person of color and we also heard there is violence

[@januslog]

@@michaelv1394 hi Michael, Corsica is very safe and there is definitely no violence against visitors. Some of the challenges are mainly directed against the federal police. I would only beware of thefts from parked cars but that’s something everyone should be cautious of when traveling by car almost anywhere in Europe

[@michaelv1394]

@@januslog Thanks so much!

[@JODTARPE]

IM FROM CORSICA😂 AND I THINK 🤔 💭 IF WE START BUILDING MOSQUES IN CORSICA IT WILL BECOME MUSLUM FREE ISLAND..AND HELAL...😅😊.

[@januslog]

They are not easy to find but there are a few halal places in Corsica 👍

[@Gigi-mc2zb]

You didn’t even show any beaches. Disappointing.

[@januslog]

Sorry to disappoint you. It’s difficult to pick a beach for such an overview video… there are sooo many nice ones. I may make a separate video just on beaches so please stay tuned.

[@f.berjer4612]

Selam my Friend. The Corsican people are not French , they represent themselves as a separate people, it's importante to know that. See you soon. Thank you for you vidéo.

[@januslog]

Yes, it’s quite a contested issue there. I decided to even leave off the French flag to avoid any discussions 😅

[@fablb9006]

Corsican people own french nationality, it is a fact. Some corsicans might not like it, but the majority of Corsican people still acknowledge their french nationality.

[@Reg2B]

Wrong! Only few.% want independance. The majority of corsican people want only more autonomy. The reality of corsican society is complex and in particular with politics subjects; so don’t be sure to have a good comprehension rapidly and don’t found your opinion with only words on the walls which are wroten by the same persons.
