The chic resort of St Florent lies on the northern coast of Corsica in a region known as The Nebbio. The town has a nice beach, good restaurants, an excellent marina and is dominated by a Genoese citadel that can be reached by foot from the seafront. To the east of town is the church of Santa Maria Asunta, the cathedral of The Nebbio, a fine example of Pisan Romanesque architecture. From here you can visit the town of Bastia or Cap Norse, the rugged peninsula with its profuse wild flowers, vineyards, medieval watchtowers and quiet traditional fishing villages. Alternatively cross the dunes of the Desert de Agriates to the beautiful and isolated Saleccia beach.
