This coastal part of the bay of Farinole offers a set of limestone ridges and Mediterranean scrub with, in the background, the azure blue of the Gulf of St Florent. The landscapes follow one another in a picturesque set mixing sea and vegetation. Steeper than the path of the beaches of Agriate, it offers nevertheless several creeks which will allow you to swim in the limpid water. Surprise at the arrival: a wonderful view of two vineyards of the AOC Patrimonio.

Description

Cette partie côtière de la baie de Farinole offre un ensemble de crêtes calcaires et de maquis méditerranéen avec, en arrière plan, le bleu azur du Golfe de St Florent. Les paysages s'enchainent dans un ensemble pittoresque mêlant mer et végétation. Plus escarpé que le sentier des plages de l'Agriate, il offre néanmoins plusieurs criques qui vous permettront de vous plonger dans une eau limpide. Petite surprise à l'arrivée : une vue plongeante sur deux vignobles de l'AOC Patrimonio.
