Haute-Corse, French administrative department in northern Corsica, France
Located between mountains and Mediterranean Sea, Haute-Corse extends across the northern half of Corsica and contains three distinct regions: Cap Corse, Balagne, and Castagniccia.
The department emerged in 1976 when Corsica divided into two administrative regions, with Bastia becoming the capital of the northern section called Haute-Corse.
Haute-Corse maintains traditional Corsican customs through numerous festivals, local markets, and regional food products including chestnut flour, olives, and citrus fruits.
The department connects to mainland France through Bastia port and airport, while an extensive network of roads links mountain villages to coastal settlements.
The Regional Natural Park of Corsica occupies a substantial portion of Haute-Corse, protecting rare plant species and offering designated hiking paths through mountain ranges.
