Propriano, Coastal commune in Corse-du-Sud, France
Propriano is a coastal commune along the Valinco Gulf in southern Corsica, with a pleasure port and several beaches lining the shore. The central Lido beach and adjacent Portigliolo shores form the main bathing areas of the town.
The town experienced significant growth in the late 1800s after a road connecting Ajaccio and Bonifacio was built and port facilities were established. This development better connected the region to the rest of the island and boosted local trade.
The Church of Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde rises behind the harbor and offers views across town. It represents the religious heritage of the community and shapes the local identity.
The town sits at a convenient location with direct road connections to Ajaccio and Figari airports. The RN196 road provides access to other major destinations across the island.
The harbor is lined with colorful buildings whose reflections shimmer in the water, creating a distinct character. This varied palette of bright facades gives the place a warm and welcoming feel.
