10CORSICA
The French island of Corsica has a unique heritage, and enchanting feel, and many eye-catching sights.
For centuries it was the subject of a tussle between various Italian trading empires, and then later the Brits, the Aragons, and the French. It has a fiercely independent character flecked through with Italianate architecture and that French je ne sais quoi. It’s probably the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean.
