Bordered to the northeast by the Désert des Agriates and by the Fango Valley to the southwest, La Balagne has two major seaside resorts, Calvi and L'île-Rousse, backing onto the hinterland. The Artisans de Balagne Craft Route will take you through some superb high-perched towns, surrounded by orchards and vineyards. Don't miss Montemaggiore on its promontory, the charming paved streets of Sant'Antonino or Pigna, which has come to symbolise the country's musical and craft traditions.
