Corsica is the very mountainous island off the southern coast of France and part of that country although many of the island's residents would like their independence. The country's mountain hiking, rock climbing, and beaches were well worth the trip and on our 2004 vacation there we visited the climbing areas of the Restonica Gorge and the stunning Col de Bavella.
