Get in

If you're planning a trip to the charming town of Saint-Florent in Corsica, you'll need to know how to get there. While the town doesn't have its own airport, the nearest one is in Bastia, which is just a 45-minute drive away. There's also no train station, so your best bet is to arrive by boat as the town has a marina. Don't worry about parking, there's a large free car park on the road towards the cathedral. If you prefer paid parking, you can find it next to the marina for just 1.20 euros per hour. Keep in mind that if you're arriving by plane or ferry, you'll need to either take a taxi or rent a car, as there is no local public transport available. A taxi from the port in L'ille-Rousse to Saint-Florent typically costs around 50 euros. Enjoy your journey to this stunning Corsican town!

Popular Foods

The first popular French dish is Ratatouille, a colorful vegetable stew traditionally made with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and seasoned with herbs such as thyme and basil. This hearty, non-meat dish is typically served alongside grilled meats or fish.

Another famous French dish is Coq au Vin, a braised chicken dish that originated in Burgundy. It involves marinating chicken pieces in red wine with mushrooms, bacon, onions, and garlic before slow-cooking them until tender and flavorful. The final dish is often garnished with parsley and served with potatoes, noodles, or bread.

Lastly, the iconic French dish, Croissants, are flaky, buttery pastries made from layers of laminated dough, which are then curved into a crescent shape and traditionally served for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. Although they are not typically a savory or sweet dish, croissants can be filled with various ingredients like ham and cheese (called a jambon-beurre) or almond paste and sugar (an almond croissant).
