Bastion de France

Built in the mid-16th century to defend the port below, this restored stone tower is the most impressive remnant of Genoese architecture in Porto Vecchio. Today, the interior hosts art exhibitions, but the real reason to come is to climb the 60 or so steps to the roof terrace for a 360-degree panoramic vista of the port and the salt marshes and mountains beyond.

Col de Bavella

There's no better place to enjoy this region's raw, beautiful scenery than Col de Bavella, a mass of towering, rippling rock formations shaped like a huge church organ. Numerous walks here cater to people of all fitness levels. There's a small information point at the parking lot that describes options. A three- to four-hour circuit to the Trou de la Bombe—an 26-foot hole in the rock—is a popular choice. Other activities include rock climbing and canyoning.
