The unusual rock formations in this part of Corsica are the Calanches. They are a UNESCO world heritage site.
The Hotel des Roches Rouges. A grand old hotel with a wonderful view.
Sarah and Cindy with a British woman who was on a similar hike.
We had a lovely dinner at the Hotel des Roches Rouges as the sun set. It was a nice change from the not-poisson of the previous night.
There were also a pair of Swiss ladies who were on a similar itenerary as us. In Piana, a group of men would sit on the bench near the church and Monique said she wanted to go and join them. So she did.
On our last day of our walking trip we had the option of walking down to the Ficaghjola beach. This dog followed us for more than an hour down to the beach from Piana.
When we got there, the beach was empty and it was only us (and the dog) and the blue blue Mediterranean.
At the end of our walking tour, we arrived back at the same hotel in Ajaccio. A cat stands waiting...
and pounces as his prey flies away.
This was an especially important menhir because of its sword.
Most Corsican towns are buit on hills. Many buildings had floors that had modern renovations as well as floors that were clearly abandoned long ago.
This is a little town in the South of Corsica known as Sartene. Sartene was known for its rather austere fortress like architecture.
