A superb hike in the Bouches de Bonifacio Natural Park.
A refreshing walk along the coastline with a detour into the Étang de la Testarella wetland. It feels like walking through a landscaped garden filled with flowers in spring. A pleasant walk in any season. The return route offers a different viewpoint, preventing monotony.
Three and a half hours including stops for this walk, which is one of our favourites.

A beautiful circular walk, mostly along the coast, offering magnificent views of the cliffs of Bonifacio on the way there and back over the Gulf of Ventilegne. This is particularly recommended on windy days when the waves break on the rocky chaos of Cap de Feno with Sardinia in the background.
