Along the way, you may be lucky enough to spot a herd of Corsican goats frolicking freely. The calanques of Piana are a true natural masterpiece, with cliffs of orange-red rock plunging into the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Admire the striking contrast between the colors of the maquis and the Laricii pines. Don't miss the famous "heart in the rock" and "dog's head", natural rock formations that fascinate visitors. Numerous signposted walks allow you to explore this exceptional area even further.
