Mineral Nature Day - A magnificent discovery, breathtaking landscapes. The volcanic formation of this part of Corsica has left rocks now eroded which leaves speechless. You have to be sensitive to these elements, their creations, their erosions... be a little imaginative to find some similarities. The tiny stopover of Girolata is also picturesque with its fort still not open to visit because still being restored. We liked this day but I think it may not please everyone.

Beautiful morning with Yoann - Hello, Another big thank you to Yoann for this sea trip on Saturday morning. Very friendly and very professional person. We discovered the Calanques de Piana, Capo Rosso, and this stop in Girolata for lunch but also the discovery of the reserve of Scandola. We highly recommend the company Grand Bleu de Cargèse.

Beautiful and magical walk - Magical boat ride despite a small swell , we went to small caves with an excellent pilot. We had a great day. I highly recommend this sea ride with framers as nice as the ride is beautiful. Little wink for Joseph 😜 who makes very nice bracelets. Do not hesitate to go.

Piana creeks and Scandola reserve - Simply magnificent, the day trip is great. 🌊The stop at the village of Girolata allows you to visit and eat, good restaurants on site, access can only be on foot or by boat. Excellent comments throughout the release 👍

Beautiful scenery - very nice discoveries, the scandola reserve and the creeks of Piana offer incredible scenery, the stop at girolata to eat is very nice, the boat staff very nice. 3h boat ride and 3h return + visits, it's a bit long but the beautiful things deserve to do at least once
