Geography
Corsica, with 8 720 km2, is the third island in the Mediterranean. She is also the most
mountainous (average of 560 m) with twenty peaks over 2500 m. Monte Cintu at 2.710 metres is the highest peak.
Corsica is 180 km long and 85 km wide; there is a 1 000 km of coast.
Corsica is situated at 160 km from the French coast and 80 km from the Italian coast. In the extreme South one is nearer to Tunis
then to Lyon. The Straits of Bonifacio separate the islands Corsica and Sardinia.
Climate
Corsica is situated in the Mediterranean Sea at a latitude of 41° north and a longitude of 9° east.
The island enjoys a pronounced Mediterranean climate: hot summers and only moderately cool winters.
Climatic conditions vary greatly from region to region, depending upon elevation. It is, for example, very well
possible to sit in the hot sunshine on the coast in April, while there is still snow in the mountains.
There are about 95 days of rain in Corsica (on average), with only a small proportion of these falling between
June and October. Storms occur more on the west coast and in the mountains.
Winds
Sirocco, blows in from the south-east bringing desert sand from the Sahara with it.
Maestrale, blows from the north-west, coming from the Rhône Valley.
Tramontana, blows from the north, from the cold plains of the Po. The name indicates "from across the mountains".
Grecale, brings in rain during the winter from the Apennines.
Levante, blows directly from the east.
Ponente, blows directly from the west.
Libecciu, crosses the the entire western Mediterranean coming from Gibraltar.
Mezzogiorno, this wind blows at noon. the breeze gets up at about nine o'clock, after the land mass has heated up faster then the sea.
Terrana, this land breeze blows after sunset, reaching its climax at midnight.
Habitants
Corsica counts 295 000 habitants; roughly 120 000 are living in the two big cities Bastia and Ajaccio.
The interieur has a density of 10 habitants per km2.
Many Corsicans have left the island for the mainland of France for economical reasons; therefore there are living more Corsicans
abroad then on the island.
The estimate is that 700 000 Corsicans have emigrated, of which 500 000 to the mainland.
In 1955 was the lowest count: only 170 000 people living on Corsica.
There are about 22 000 foreigners living on Corsica (8% of the total of inhabitants).
These are Maroccans, Italians,
Portuguese, Tunesians and other groups from North-Africa, the socalled "pieds noirs", who came back after the
Algerian war in 1962.

Transhumance Corsica is a land of shepherds. Within living memory the shepherds are adapted to climatique conditions and the mountains of their region. In winter, during the cold and the snow, they guide their flock towards the coast; in summer, when there is drought and heat (and paludism), they return to higher pastures. There, in the traditional way, they make the cheeses and the famous, delicious brucciu. A muntagnera, at the beginning of July, marks the start of the transhumance of goats and cows to the higher pastures where they will stay for three months. Every hamlet in the mountains "owns" a "beach"; that is to say a territorium at the seaside. The paths of the transhumance find themselves between these two portions of territorium. The shepherds of the Niolu for example take the long route by descending into the Filosorma (hinterland of Galeria) or go all the way to the Balagne. The ways of the transhumance from the "beach" to the mountain-hamlets are marked with bergeries, drystone-walled simple houses or sometimes just a refuge under a rock. Many of these bergeries are still existing and in use today. |

The nickname of Corsica's only railway is "TGV-Train Grandes Vibrations"; the Corsicans call their "little train"
affectionally "Trinighellu". Sometimes it happens that the train has to stop to remove a cow from the rails or the
engine breaks down before it is within eyesight of a station and has to be push-started to get it going again. This makes a journey with "Trinighellu" all the more folkloric.
The route from Bastia to Ajaccio runs through a breathtaking lovely region with magnificent views. The train goes
through 43 tunnels, hewn in the solid rock, and crosses the impressive Vecchio Bridge. This viaduct,
designed by Gustave Eiffel, is 140 meters long and spans the mountain torrent at a height of some 100 meters.
Between Ponte Leccia and Bocagnano the scenery is spectacular. The journey takes about three and a half hours and is
an excellent way to discover the different landscapes.
In Ponte Leccia a branch is going off to l'Île Rousse and Calvi.
Each route has one train a day in both directions.
Between Calvi and l'Île Rousse runs a
local service "le petit tramway de Balagne".
