Corse-du-Sud

Corse-du-Sud extends across the southern portion of Corsica with 1,000 kilometers of Mediterranean coastline between Porto and Bonifacio.

The French government formally established Corse-du-Sud as an administrative department on January 1, 1976, dividing the island into northern and southern regions.

The department maintains connections to both French and Italian heritage through its architecture, regional cuisine, and traditional festivals throughout its villages.

Ajaccio Napoleon Bonaparte Airport connects the department with major European cities while ferries link multiple ports to mainland France and Italy.

The department contains Monte Renoso, rising 2,352 meters above sea level, with granite peaks and natural pools forming along mountain streams.
