The GR20 in 8 days (Northern Part) - Corsica

Hello everyone!

I just published a video that might interest you, especially if you are passionate about hiking. In this video I talk about the incredible hiking trail that crosses Corsica.

I tried to make it fun, educational and captivating while showing the different Corsican landscapes while respecting and giving my personal point of view. I would be delighted to have your feedback or to discuss with you on this subject

Je vous demande de l'aide pour trouver la chanson Corse!

Bonjour les amis! Je cherche depuis longtemps une chanson Corse de ce passage du film «vive la France». Les réseaux de neurones ne m'ont pas aidé, peut-être que j'ai mal posé la question. Je vous demande votre aide. Chanson de 0:00 à 0:11 seconde extrait:

Hè mortu François Berlinghi

"C'était quelqu'un de bienveillant, tout le monde l'aimait" : François Berlinghi, militant culturel et maire de Pero-Casevecchie, nous a quittés

Homme de culture, défenseur de la langue corse, passionné de cinéma et de théâtre, François Berlinghi est décédé ce dimanche 24 novembre à l'âge de 71 ans. Maire de Pero-Casevecchie, il avait contribué, avec Francis Marcantei, à la création du Tavagna Club.

C'était un homme aux multiples qualités. François Berlinghi était d'abord dévoué pour son village : Pero-Casevecchie, en Tavagna, dont il était maire depuis 2006. L'élu se battait quotidiennement pour faire vivre sa commune à l'année. Avec Antoine Giancoli et Florent Alberti, ils avaient tous les trois créé il y a quelques années le bar associatif "Circulu Cyrnos" au centre du village.

La justice interdit l’usage du corse à l'assemblée de Corse

Une décision confirmée par la cour administrative d’appel de Marseille, et ce au grand dam des élus autonomistes corses qui comptent former un pourvoi devant le Conseil d’État.

L'usage du corse dans les débats à l'assemblée de Corse est interdit car contraire à la Constitution, a confirmé la cour administrative d'appel de Marseille, au grand dam des élus autonomistes corses qui comptent former un pourvoi devant le Conseil d'État.

Cette décision de la cour, prononcée le 19 novembre et consultée mardi par l'AFP, rejette l'appel de la Collectivité de Corse (CDC) contre le jugement du tribunal administratif de Bastia du 9 mars 2023 qui avait annulé les délibérations de l'assemblée de Corse et du conseil exécutif de la CDC validant l'utilisation de la langue corse.

Faire sa vie en Corse en tant que continental ?

Bonjour à tous J'ai toujours vécu à Paris, en tant que fonctionnaire (aiguilleur du ciel) j'ai la possibilité d'obtenir une mutation en Corse pour quelques années (5-10 ans). Je suis allé en Corse il y a très longtemps, je ne me souvient plus vraiment de la vie là-bas. J'hésite entre Calvi et Figari. Y-a-t-il des choses à savoir vis-à-vis de la vie de tous les jours ? Des faux pas à éviter ? Vaut-il mieux connaître le Corse pour se fondre dans la masse ? Est-il vrai que l'on n'est jamais vraiment accepté ?

Bien à vous

Recherche famille en France

Je vis en Suisse et suis binational, français. Mon grand-père était pied noir, né dans les années 40 à Alger. Son père, français et d’après mes infos, plus précisément corse, ne l’aurait pas reconnu. Je recherche aujourd’hui ma famille en France, des cousins peut-être. Son père avait d’autres enfants, il s’appelait Rossi. Je sais que je cherche une aiguille dans une botte de foin mais je tente. J’ai déjà fait des recherches sur MyHeritage, sans succès. J’attends aussi des résultats d’analyse ADN.

Apprendre le corse et l'italien en même temps ?

Je souhaiterais apprendre le corse, en raison de mes origines, mais en même temps j'aimerais apprendre l'italien. Pensez vous qu'apprendre les deux langues en même temps est une bonne ou une mauvaise idée ? D'un côté je me dis que leurs similitudes peut être source de confusion, de l'autre je me dis que le corpus linguistique disponible est beaucoup plus important en italien et me permettrait également de "nourrir" mon apprentissage du corse (encore une fois en raison de leurs grandes similitudes)

Roads?!

Hi all! Planning a 5-day motorcycle trip through Corsica next September. I’ve spent an incredible day riding D81 to Porto and another amazing day across on D84 to Bastia. What other roads can you recommend that really showcase the beauty of Corsica? Thanks!

Burials & Cemeteries

Hello! I’ve been writing a fictional book about two characters. (Granted that these two are expatriates and have been living in Corsica for at least two years or so already.) Tragedy struck, and my character’s father met his demise.

As respectful and faithful to the Corsican culture, what are the chances that my character’s father may be buried on a mountain? Without any other burials. If so, around where? I’m quite specific with the setting because of how their surname is derived from such. It’s a perfect imagery, too. If it’s not quite possible or probable for it to be on some mountain, are there any known cemeteries instead, at least with a seascape view, that a funeral can transpire? If so, what cemetery?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

My reflection on Corsica

I stayed in Corsica for a month, working remotely and traveling around the island, doing some hikes and exploring the nature.

Things I liked:

  1. Nature. The island has mountains, rivers and even waterfalls that are really gorgeous!
  2. Beaches. Crystal clear water, white sand.
  3. Not crowded. It was rather off-season during my stay, but still nice that it was not many people.
  4. Hospitality. Everybody I met was rather friendly and helpful.

Things I neither liked or disliked:

  1. Weather. During my visit it was not consistent, mostly cloudy, but it definitely gave some character to the island.
  2. Difficulty to find what to visit. Some of the most beautiful places I found was completely random, no information on the internet whatsoever (at least in English). Just randomly found about them on Google Maps or reading some comments.
  3. Prices. Everything seems more expensive compared to Spain or Italy to name a few.

Things I disliked:

  1. Not compulsory headlights. As someone who comes from northern Europe this was unusual.
  2. Bonfires. No idea what people are burning but plenty of bonfires messes up with the view and gives a bad smell.

This is just my thoughts. Overall I really enjoyed the stay. Thanks for interesting experience, Corsica!

Is the Corsican language still spoken regularly?

I did not know it was so similar to standard Italian, it's fascinating

Do younger generations speak it?

Is there any plan to expand the language or at least not let it die?

It would be a shame if it dissappeared

I hope it can be revitalized like what happened with the Basque o Catalan langauge in Spain

Studying at the Università di Corsica Pasquale Paoli

I am going to be applying to universities soon, and I have visited Corsica before. I truly find the island beautiful, and so when I found out that there's a university there, I immediately set my sights on it, as I want to spend more time in Corsica, and maybe even reside there later on. However, after looking the University of Corsica up, I noticed many websites give this university a very low ranking.

I would want to study law there. Does anybody know how the university (academics, lifestyle, etc) is? To what extent do the rankings reflect the actual quality of the university? And is it a good choice?

Just looking for Information about the strike, #supporttheworkers

Hellooo, i am stranded in Ajaccio due to the strike. I support all ongoing strikes, especially against investors and shit. Still, there is the problem for me that i can't get valuable information about recent dynamics or announcements about the duration of the strike. I was planned to depart today but now i have to plan otherwise. Could somebody keep me ( and other travelers) updated about what's going on? Would be highly appreciated! :)

What's the weather like in end October/early November in north Corsica ?

I was planning to go for a 2 weeks bicycle trip in the northern half of Corsica (from ~28 Oct to ~9 nov) and staying mainly close to the coasts (not tied to the coasts but not planning to go uphill because I'm not that experienced in bikepacking).

I wonder if weather could get me q bad surprise ?

Looking for advice: cannot leave Corsica due to the port/airport strike

I was scheduled to leave Corsica via ferry yesterday, however the strike at the ports and airports prevented passengers from getting on any transport.

I’m a foreigner, it looks like I may not be able to fly home, and I didn’t budget to continue to stay here, looks like it’s getting expensive quickly, especially with the coming weekend.

Any ideas what I could do to find reasonably priced, perhaps medium term accommodation if the strike isn’t resolved? I’m in ile rousse. I will be going to the tourist office, open to any other ideas to find info or assistance.

UPDATE: tourism office said to stay put, those in Bastia can go to the temporary accommodation at a gymnasium. Gonna enjoy the nice weather for now.

ANOTHER UPDATE: We’ve been made aware that the city can host people affected by the strike at COSEC de l’Ile Rousse if you can’t find availability elsewhere.

THIRD UPDATE: there may be a lifting of the block tomorrow during the day details here
