Park in the covered public car park on Rue Albert 1er, opposite the Citadel of Calvi.
(S/E) Walk up Rue Albert 1er, keeping the Chapel of Notre-Dame della Serra in sight.
(1) At the end of the street, turn right and head up towards the Hôtel Mariana. Cross the junction and take the street on the left at the foot of the hotel. Walk towards the chapel for about 200 m.
(2) Turn left at the junction and continue straight ahead.
(3) Walk past the first wooden sign pointing to Notre-Dame della Serra in front of the EDF building.
(4) Turn left to leave the road and, further on, take the path marked by a second sign pointing to the chapel: yellow markings. Follow the path uphill until you reach a junction.
(5) Continue along the path opposite. Walk up the slope in front of you and take the stone steps to reach the chapel.
(6) Take in the panoramic view of the town of Calvi and its gulf. Head off to the left towards the cemetery to begin the descent. When you reach the cemetery, turn right onto the road running alongside it towards the chapel car park. Take the path on the left before the car park entrance and follow the yellow markings. Continue left along the track for about 300 m.
(7) Once you reach the top of the road, take a narrow path on the left to begin the descent: be careful, the path is dry and a little slippery. Head back down the path through the pine forest until you reach the first houses and continue along the road at the end of the path. You will reach a crossroads.
(8) Turn right onto the road called La Vacaja. Keep left at the junction and continue down the hill until you reach the Stop sign.
(9) Turn right to follow the Route de Pietramaggiore to the roundabout 150 m further on. Turn left onto the Route du Docteur Massoni until the next roundabout.
(10) Go round it on the left and take Route de la Pinède opposite, running alongside the Salle de Spectacle. Continue until you reach the beach, crossing the car park shaded by pine trees.
(11) Take the path on the left running alongside the beach and the railway line. Walk towards the Citadel of Calvi.
(12) At the bus stop, turn right to reach the beach and continue left towards the port and the citadel. Walk along the port and enter the old town after passing the Sub-Prefecture.
(13) Turn left onto Rue Georges Clémenceau and explore the shops selling local Corsican produce.
At the end of the street, opposite the steps leading up to the citadel, follow the road uphill to your left. You’ll soon reach Avenue de l’Uruguay; go straight on for a few dozen metres, then turn left onto Rue Albert 1er to return to the covered public car park (S/E).
