About L’Île-Rousse

L'Ile-Rousse is a small Balagne resort town on Corsica's north coast. It is named after the red granite islets that shelter its harbour, which are linked to the shore and topped by the Pietra lighthouse. Plane-tree-shaded Place Paoli, a covered market, sandy town beaches and the coastal train to Calvi make it an easy, relaxed call for small ships.
