LES CALANCHES
CORSICA, FRANCE
IMAGE NUMBER 951a
Snaking south from Porto to Piana in the north west of Corsica, the coast road through the Calanches is one of the most dramatic in Europe, an almost surreal landscape of wind-eroded granite cliffs that drop vertically into the deep indigo of the gulf. The cliffs are red, pink, russet and honey, carved into precipitous pinnacles by the elements and up to 300 metres above the sea in some places.
