Bonifacio, Corsica, France

July 19, 2022

We drove down to Bonifacio to explore its old town that sits high above a sheltered harbor. The old town is built within a fortress that clings to the cliffs, part of which dates back to the year 828 when it was founded by Boniface II of Tuscany. By the time we arrived at midday the town was already packed with tourists and the sun was scorching. We took a little train up to the city and roamed its shady and narrow streets for an hour before beating a hasty retreat back to the car and heading to the beach for one last Corsican swim.
