A discreet yet fascinating visit, enriching your experience of the place even further.

One of those simple, precious moments which you won’t forget…

in the heart of the village
Time to sit down in the shade of a terrace. You pick a small restaurant in a lively square. On the menu, Corsican specialities and local produce and ingredients… Also, if you’re there in August, you can’t miss the renowned Festa di a Nuciola (hazelnut fair). The village comes to life, the number of stands increases, the scent of traditional produce pervades the streets…a warm, festive atmosphere!

After this gourmet interlude, you get back in the car for a few minutes heading for the nearby valley. A change of surroundings… You park nearby and walk to the Cascade de l’Ucelluline waterfall. The trail is short but easily accessible, perfect for a family trip.

The waterfall suddenly appears, between the rocks and greenery. The water falls gently into a natural pool. This is a shaded, relaxing spot… The children don’t resist it for long and come closer to dip their feet in! You make the most of the coolness, the sound of the water, this timeless moment in the heart of nature!
17:00
After this cooling interlude, you calmly get back on the road towards the campsite, your head full of memories. The sun gradually goes down, the landscape takes on golden hues… Back at Domaine de Bagheera, one last swim in the sea perfects your day in the mountains, the village and nature. A great way to discover another side of Corsica…
for paradise?
