Corsica
(or in French "La Corse") is the fourth
largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after Sicily,
Sardinia, and Cyprus. It is located west of Italy,
southeast of the French mainland, and north of the
island of Sardinia. Corsica is one of the 26 regions
of France, although strictly speaking Corsica is designated
as a "territorial collectivity" (collectivité
territoriale) by law. As a territorial collectivity,
it enjoys greater powers than other French regions,
but for the most part its status is quite similar.
Although the island is separated from the continental
mainland by the Ligurian Sea and is much closer to
the Italian than to the French mainland, politically
Corsica is part of Metropolitan France. It was once
briefly an independent Corsican Republic, until being
incorporated into France in 1768. Corsica is famed
as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. His ancestral
home, Casa Buonaparte, is located there. The island
is the least economically developed region in Metropolitan
France and tourism plays a major role in the Corsican
economy. The island's climate, mountains and coastlines
make it a popular destination among the French and
other Western Europeans. However, the island has not
had the same level of intensive development as other
parts of the Mediterranean and is thus relatively
unspoiled. Tourism is particularly concentrated in
the area around Porto Vecchio and Bonifacio in the
south of the island and Calvi in the northwest. Source:
