A walk along the coastal path. There is not much left of the tower, but the view is worth it.
Country:
France
District:
Corse-du-Sud (2A) 
Park at Lava Beach.
(S/E) From the beach, continue right along the coast to the Letizia restaurant. The path starts at the "Beware of cows" sign. Follow the trail.
(1) Once you reach the tower, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the sea. Take care if you are afraid of heights.
Return to the beach via the same path (S/E).
Wear a hat and bring water in season as it gets very hot (June 2017).
After the walk, the beach is so beautiful that you can't resist the pleasure of swimming there.

A very pleasant hike, with some slightly dizzying sections.
The route to the tower is a bit unpredictable towards the end, with a few backtracking sections, but it's fairly easy to find your way. There were big waves at the foot of the tower that day, so the view was spectacular.

It's not always easy to follow the right path as there are often several tracks. Very stony path, best tackled with good footwear and without children. Magnificent view from the summit.

Difficult, rocky, vertiginous trail, avoid with children. We didn't finish the walk because at one point we lost the trail. I think we weren't far from the summit, but it was getting a bit dangerous and we didn't want to take any risks. That said, the view of the Gulf of Lava is superb.

I think it should be pointed out that you need to be careful to leave the path that runs along the coast and climb up to the right so that you end up behind the tower.
I saw other people make the same mistake because the path continues to some rocks that cannot be crossed, and you have to retrace your steps to find the right path. The route is probably correct, but the description could be more precise.

The trail is difficult to find
Perhaps using the Visorando GPS app would make it easier to follow the trail.

A very pleasant walk starting from Golfe de Lava. The starting point is at the end of the beach on the right after the rocks. There is a barrier, but this is to prevent cows from coming onto the beach. You need to be careful as there are lots of small paths, so follow the route on the map and don't follow the coastline. When you arrive, there isn't much left of the tower, but the view is magnificent.
Bring water with you or do the walk early in the morning or late in the evening as there is no shade at all.
