1h30 away from Paris, This tour, consisting of 3 stages, will allow you to enjoy a little known area of Corsica and ideal for the practice of road cycling. You have the choice between several variants, more or less difficult, depending on your level. We take care of luggage transfers and stay in 3-star hotels.
Your day by day program
Your tour starts in Bastia at your hotel in the afternoon. This gives you time to discover the capital of Upper Corsica. The old port is superb as well as the freely accessible citadel and the old town which offers an exceptional panorama on the sea and the surroundings. For the free evening meal, we recommend the old port and its special atmosphere.
Night in a 3-stars hotel in Bastia
In the morning, after the appointment, you get on your bike and follow the D80 (which goes around Cape Town), towards Macinaggio. You ride along the coast about 35 km before cutting from east to west by the Serra pass (365 m). On the other side of the island the road again follows the coast and its beautiful cliffs. Several Genoese and paolines towers strew the course, and the marines with their small fishing ports are magnificent. The evening stage is done in Saint-Florent, where you can walk on the port or visit the citadel ...
Distances: 87 km - 105 or 120 km
Night in a 3-star hotel in Saint Florent.
Today you have the choice between a rest day to fully enjoy Saint-Florent, its beaches, its beautiful marina, or ride to discover the surrounding passes.
If you choose to pedal, your itinerary will take you to the top of Col Teghime (535m alt.).
You will then have 2 options. The first will take you through the Nebbiu to return to Saint-Florent.
The second will take you on a corniche road to enjoy a little extra loop on the heights of Bastia.
