History and Horticulture in Corsica11th Jul 2025
From:£4,495
Summary
The French Island of Corsica is notable for its unusually lush vegetation compared to others in the Mediterranean, thanks to its acid soils and wide range of climatic variations. The luxuriant growth – forest, scrub (maquis), olive-trees, orange groves, vineyards and an abundance of flowers – led Napoleon Bonaparte, the island’s most famous son, to say “I would recognise Corsica with my eyes closed from its perfume alone.” This delightful cruise combines some of the Island’s wonderous gardens and areas of outstanding natural beauty. No trip to Corsica would be complete without delving into some of the history surrounding the famous military man himself.
