Porto-Vecchio
Known as the 'St Tropez' of Corsica, Porto-Vecchio is becoming
one of the most fashionable towns in southern Corsica. It is
situated a scenic bay, near popular sandy beaches such as
Palombaggia, Rondinara, and Santa Guilia. The old town, the
Borgo, has picturesque narrow streets, and interesting
sights such as the twisted tree at the Place de la Republique, the
incomplete church of St Jean Baptiste, and the art gallery at the
Bastion di A Funtana Vechju.
Porto-Vecchio has a few souvenir shops and excellent specialty
food shops selling Corsican delicacies like wild boar sausage and
local cheeses. There are a number of cafes, bars and restaurants
with good opportunities for people-watching, and during the high
season the city is usually buzzing with activity.
