Tour from Porto, in the gulf of Capo Rosso

His village is classified among the most beautiful villages of France. Between Porto and Pianathe road, narrow and windy clings in the cornice. The calanques fall sheer into the sea. Guy de Maupassant in “The monastery of Corbara”, text published in The Gauls October 5, 1880, said :

"At dusk, I went through the calanche di Piana. I stopped first amazed by these amazing rocks of pink granite, the senior of four hundred meters, the strange, tortured, bent, consumed by time, bloody as the last lights of the sunset and taking in all the forms as a people fantasy fairy tales fairy, petrified by some supernatural power. I saw alternately two monks standing, of a gigantic size ; a bishop sitting, crook in hand, mitre on head ; portentous figures, a lion crouching at the edge of the road, a woman breastfeeding her child and a head of devil huge, horned, distorted, keeper, no doubt, of the crowd trapped in the body of stone. After the Niolo everyone is, without doubt, not to mention not the striking and arid loneliness, the calanche di Piana is one of the wonders of Corsica ; you can tell, I believe, one of the wonders of the world. "
