I love the ocean and the mountains and the forest. I live on the Canadian side of the pacific northwest and love our boreal rainforest. I could capture cedar trees all day, everyday.
The Aegean and Balearic Seas are my favorites - thus the settings for my historical fiction books. I feel like my characters on Menorca would have visited Corsica, too!
Oh it’s funny you mention that, because while doing a research last week I came across 2 historical fiction books set in Corsica that I didn’t know and wanted to read: ‘The House at Zaronza’ and ´The Corsican Widow’, both by Vanessa Couchman. And you also sparked my curiosity about your books, so I’m gonna go look for them!
Thank you so much for sharing. I also have a love affair with the sea and I'm glad I'm not alone! Corsica is on my list this year. I would love to spend a few weeks there working on recipes and writing and some sea swimming. Is there anywhere you would recommend?
You're definitely not alone! I'm thrilled to read that Corsica is on your list this year and I'm happy to help. The island has no shortage of places filled with beautiful beaches, but to guide you a bit more, could you tell me what 'vibe' you're looking for and when you plan to visit?
Sure. Thanks so much! I want to be relaxed but have easy walks to the sea, some where pretty and other things near by so not to have to rely on a car all the time to get ingredients etc.
In that case, the areas of L’Ile Rousse, Calvi or even St Florent might be a good option especially if you plan to rent a Airbnb or something like that. The beaches in these places are easily accessible from the town center - especially in L’Ile Rousse. But depending on the season you want to come, accommodation can be a bit pricey and there may be more people wandering in the streets. The least crowded beaches generally require a car -or a boat- to get there.

If you love mountains and forests, you’ll probably like some of the pictures in this post - I also talked about the ebbs and flows of the Projector energy: https://open.substack.com/pub/sipofcorsica/p/embracing-the-ebbs-and-flows?r=22f2hi&utm_medium=ios
