Bonifacio, Corsica
Its location on a cliffside makes it an unusual perched village overlooking the Mediterranean. This fortified town where you can still admire its ramparts and forts has a picturesque look and a small port that attracts travelers.
When you discover Bonifacio, take the 65-metre-high King of Aragon's Staircase, which finally reaches the sea. Its 187 steps have been hand-carved by man... A colossal work perfectly preserved which makes it a listed historical monument.
