Bird's Eye Views of Corsica, France

The Punta di Campomoro is one of the most scenic spots in Corsica. It sits at the northern tip of this French island in the Mediterranean which is situated just to the north of Italy's Sardinia. One of the hidden gems of the Mediterranean sea, it offers a fantastic coastline and dazzling blue waters. Noted as a beach lover’s heaven, it’s no wonder why contributor Amaury Descours took his drone to the sky to capture this epic island, whose most famous personage was Napoleon Bonaparte.

Contributor Thib from Above used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create this beautiful view of the area around St. Flaurent on the Mediterranean island of Corsica.  The island's dominant feature is Cap Corse, a long peninsula which extrudes from the island's northern end.  St. Flaurent sits on the western side of the base of the peninsula, across from Bastia, which sits on the eastern side of the base.  As you will see from the video, it's a beautiful area with a quaint harbor town and numerous lagoons.

Contributor David Dreyfus brings us this beautiful aerial video of the southwestern coast of Corsica, the French island in the Mediterranean.  The video was shot in between Roccapina and Murtoli, the former being on the coast and the latter being a few km/mi inland in the island's mountainous interior.  The video features some amazing footage of Torra di Roccapina, a ruined 17th century Genoese watchtower.  Much of this area is only reachable by boat due to the distance from the main roads.

North of Cap Corse, the peninsula which forms the northern tip of the French island of Corsica in the western Mediterranean, there's a tiny island called Giraglia.  The island's two landmarks are a tower built by the Genoese in the 16th-17th centuries called Torra di Giraglia and a lighthouse.  Both are official monuments protected by the government of France.  In this video by AirVuz contributor and drone pilot Altrove, you'll get a bird's eye view of this iconic looking island, which is barely visible on a map.

If you look at the French Mediterranean island of Corsica on a map, one of the things which stands out is the crazy shape taken by the island's western coastline.  It is by far the most jagged looking coastline of any Mediterranean island.  "On the ground" it means a fantastic number of bays, small inlets, and lagoons, many of which are not accessible by road - ie, boats only.  As you'll see in this drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot Grib, boaters have countless secluded spots from which to choose.

AirVuz contributor and pilot N.I.X. brings us this beautiful drone video of the Calanques de Piana, one of the more prominent of the many inlets which make up much of the western coast of the French island Corsica.  It's situated about a third of the way down the island's long western coastline, which is the most jagged stretch of coast anywhere in the Mediterranean Sea.  The Calanques de Piana area is part of a UNESCO World Heritage natural site on Corsica, the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean. 

Contributor C. Oberschneider used a DJI Phantom 4 drone to create this stunning aerial tour of Corsica, the great French island in the Mediterranean.  The island reflects a blend of Italian and French cultures, which is a function of its history: the island was a territory of Genoa for almost five hundred years beginning in the late 13th century.  In the video, you'll get a good overview of the island, including some of its towns, its famously rocky coastline, and its beautiful mountainous interior.  

Contributor David Dreyfus used a DJI Mavic drone to create this beautiful aerial video of the French island Corsica.  The Sanguinaires are a group of islands which lie off the western coast of this Mediterranean island.   Murtoli is a town on the nearby coast of the main island of Corsica.  It's known for its spectacular jagged coastline, where hundreds of small lagoons and coves, which are interspersed with beautiful sandy beaches.  Enjoy the views of the island which was the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte! 

While most videos of Corsica focus on its Mediterranean coastline, with this drone video by TheCorsicanDroner you'll get a bird's eye look at the interior of the island.  The spot filmed is the Uomo di Cagna, a mountain  situated in the south central part of the island.  The granite mountain has also given birth to some spectacular looking rock formations.  Much of the interior of the island is sparsely populated, as the vast majority of Corsica's 330,000 permanent residents live on its coasts.

The vast majority of the larger towns of the French island of Corsica are lined up on its western and northern coasts; the eastern and southern coasts of Corsica are much more remote.  In this drone video by david.dreyfus, you'll get an aerial view of some very beautiful beach spots along the island's southwestern coastline.  Shot with a DJI Mavic Pro drone, the video features footage of the beaches around Murtoli, Roccapina, and the Cavu River; all are part of the Corse-du-Sud Department.

Tesla's all-electric sports cars have captured the imagination of auto enthusiasts around the globe.  Its monster electric motors are capable of delivering head-snapping acceleration, and its light carbon footprint appeals to conservationist instincts.  They are also amazing vehicles to see, especially when cruising in an exotic environment.  In this video, contributor Yolo uses a drone to treat us to an aerial view of a Tesla Model X cruising the Mediterranean island of Corsica.  Prepare to be amazed. 

Brand new AirVuz contributor KarmaKopter used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone to create this beautiful from the French Mediterranean island of Corsica.  The area filmed was around the village of Sant'Antonino, which is situated on a hilltop just inland from the island's northwestern coast.  It's part of Haute-Corse, the Department which covers the northern part of the island.  Sant'Antonino is one of the roughly 150 villages included in the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France list of France's most beautiful villages.
