Everything about Corse-du-sud totally explained
Corse-du-Sud (
English:
Southern Corsica) is a
French département. It is composed of the southern part of the island of
Corsica.
History
The department was formed on
September 15,
1975, when the
Corse department was divided into
Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud. Its boundaries correspond to the former department of
Liamone, which existed from 1793 to 1811.
Geography
The department is surrounded on three sides by the
Mediterranean Sea and on the north by the department of
Haute-Corse.
The entire island of Corsica is mountainous with many beautiful beaches.
Demographics
The inhabitants of all of Corsica are called Corsicans.
Culture
Corsicans are a fiercely independent people. However, a July 6, 2003 referendum on increased autonomy was voted down by a very thin majority: 50.98 percent against to 49.02 percent for. This was a major setback for French Minister of the Interior
Nicolas Sarkozy, who had hoped to use Corsica as the first step in his decentralization policies.
Tourism
South Corsica enjoys the mild and hot climate of Mediterranean Islands, and therefore attracts a lot of tourists. Its gem is the city of
Bonifacio, part of which is built upon a huge cliff.
But inside mountains are beautiful as well, especially the Aiguilles de Bavella, some naked, needle-like rocks.
