I have three weeks and a day from 18th August. For the life of me I cannot make my mind up where to head for. Motor-home with motorcycle on trailer behind.
Any options would be received gratefully.
Just now thinking about Corsica, is it possible in the time frame.
Where do I sail from, Nice?

hi did this about 6 years ago with car and folding camper. Took tunnel then drove for about 6 hours staying at some site en route to Marseille from where the ferry sails to Bastia.

Second day completed journey to Marseille for overnight crossing to Corsica.

Spent a week campsite in Calvi in the North West then drove down to Porto Vecchio in the South East for a week then took another overnight ferry back from there to Marseille.

Finished off with a few days in the Auvergne and then Paris to break the return journey.

Corsica is a wonderful island.

Are you aware of the fires that consumed a lot of land recently?

"Residents were evacuated from homes at the edge of the town of Biguglia, on Corsica’s northeastern coast.

‘The fire is very fierce and heading to urban areas of Biguglia,’"

"Another fire on the south of the island, which destroyed 110 hectares around the town of Aleria, was brought under control."


Hopefully there will not be further outbreaks?

Regards James

Thanks for the response. Yes the missus has seen the fires on the news etc. Looks like we are headed for Italy instead.
