St Florent & the North East

From the dramatic, mountainous Cap Corse and the magnificent, untamed Désert des Agriates, the northern heights sweep round to shelter the historic waterfront town of St Florent...

Drive through the wild Désert des Agriates and you’ll find St Florent tucked away between the mountains and sea, overlooked by the circular citadel. Less pretentious and more intimate than St Tropez, St Florent is the first port of call for the Provençal jet set, with luxury yachts a prominent feature in the marina, a fantastic atmosphere and many good beaches nearby.
