The city
What to expect from Bonifácio.
Bonifacio is the southernmost town of metropolitan France, on the tip of Corsica, atop white limestone cliffs about 60 meters high. The walled upper town, fortified by the Genoese, features the Escalier du Roi d'Aragon and the sea cemetery on the cliff edge. Boats depart from the harbor to the caves, the cliffs and the Îles Lavezzi, and about a half-hour by car are the beach of Palombaggia and the Pertusato lighthouse on the way.
