<!-- ================================================= ITINERARY -->
<section id="itinerary-section">
<div class="wrap">
<p class="eyebrow">Day by day</p>
<h2>The itinerary</h2>
<p class="lede">
The film does this in ten days. In a van, on these roads, ten days means driving past most of it —
so it is stretched to fifteen, with the mountain days given room and two nights parked at the same
beach. Every day names its sleep, its hike and its van hazard.
</p>
<div class="note time" style="max-width:74ch;margin-top:1.4rem">
<b>How the days are timed.</b> Every day names the time you should be checked in — usually
18:00 — and the driving is sized to hit it, because campsite receptions shut around 19:30 and
hotel check-in doesn't open until 15:00. Where the evening is the point (the Calanches, the
Sanguinaires), the day checks in first and goes back out. And day 16 is a deliberate buffer:
night 15 is 20 minutes from the ferry, so nothing that goes wrong in the mountains can cost you
the crossing.
</div>
<div class="note warn" style="max-width:70ch;margin-top:1.4rem">
<b>Want the film's ten days exactly?</b> Merge days 1–2 into one long Cap Corse day, merge 4–5,
run 6–7 together, and cut day 3 (the Agriates) and day 8 (the Niolu). That lands on ten days with
every headline stop intact — the Calanches, Capo Rosso, Bavella, Melo, Bonifacio, the white
beaches — and costs you Saleccia, Col de Vergio and Lac de Calacuccia. It also means three
consecutive days of over four hours at the wheel, which is exactly what the fifteen-day version
exists to avoid.
</div>
<div id="itinerary"></div>
</div>
</section>
<!-- ================================================= HOTELS -->
<section id="stay">
<div class="wrap">
<p class="eyebrow">Beds, not bunks</p>
<h2>Five mid-budget hotels worth breaking out of the van for</h2>
<p class="lede">
Fifteen nights in a van is about three too many. These are spaced through the route at the points
where you will most want a real shower, a laundry and a mattress — priced in the €85–170 band,
and each chosen for the night it sits on rather than for the star rating.
</p>
<div class="grid g3" id="stayGrid"></div>
<p style="margin-top:1.4rem;font-size:.88rem;color:var(--muted);max-width:70ch">
Prices are shoulder-season doubles (May–June, September) and roughly double in August. All have
parking that will take a van; confirm length when you book. Positions are OpenStreetMap-verified —
rates and availability are not, so check before you rely on them.
</p>
</div>
</section>
<!-- ================================================= CAMPING -->
<section id="camping">
<div class="wrap">
<p class="eyebrow">Where you actually sleep</p>
<h2>Thirty campsites, one per night and a spare</h2>
<p class="lede">
All of these exist in OpenStreetMap with the coordinates below, and all take motorhomes and vans.
Corsica has no legal wild camping, so this list <em>is</em> the accommodation plan — book the
July–August nights, turn up anywhere else.
</p>
<div class="note warn" style="max-width:78ch;margin-top:1.6rem">
<b>The law, briefly.</b> Camping outside a campsite is prohibited across Corsica and enforced,
with fines from €68 up to €1,500 for damage in protected areas — and the coastline and beaches are
the most heavily policed zone of all. Two things make life easier:
<br><br>
<b>1. Parking is not camping.</b> A van parked like any other vehicle, with nothing deployed —
no awning, no chairs, no table, no levelling blocks — is legally parked, for up to seven
consecutive days in one place. The moment you set up, it becomes camping.
<br><br>
<b>2. High mountains are tolerated.</b> Bivouac above roughly 1,000 m inside the Parc Naturel
Régional is generally accepted from sunset to sunrise, one night in one spot, leaving nothing.
That covers Vergio, Bavella, Haut-Asco and the Ospedale forest — which is most of the good stuff.

<b>Mountain rules that matter here.</b> Storms build over the Corsican interior in the early
afternoon almost daily in summer — start at first light and be off the ridges by 14:00.
There is no shade on any coastal hike: two litres of water each, minimum. Fires and off-trail
camping are banned island-wide in the fire season, and the maquis burns fast.

<!-- ================================================= VEGAN -->
<section id="vegan">
<div class="wrap">
<p class="eyebrow">Eating vegan</p>
<h2>Corsica is hard for vegans. Here is how to do it anyway.</h2>
<p class="lede">
No point pretending otherwise: this is a cuisine built on charcuterie, brocciu, wild boar and
fish, and there are exactly three fully plant-based or all-vegetarian kitchens on the whole
island. Every day of the itinerary above names where to eat and, on the days when the honest
answer is "carry your own", says so.
</p>
<div class="grid g2" style="margin-top:2rem">
<div class="card">
<h3>The four things that always work</h3>
<p><b>1. Pizza marinara.</b> Tomato, garlic, oregano, olive oil, no cheese — vegan by default
and on the menu of every pizzeria in Corsica, of which there are hundreds. Order it by name
and add <i>sans mozzarella</i> to be certain. This is your floor: you will never go hungry.</p>
<p><b>2. Self-catering.</b> Village markets, greengrocers and the organic chains
(Biocoop, La Vie Claire, Eau Vive) are listed day by day above. In a van this is the backbone;
in hotels it is at least lunch.</p>
<p><b>3. Asking, in the right words.</b> Say <b><i>végétalien</i></b>, not <i>végétarien</i> —
in rural France the latter is widely read as "fish and lardons are fine". The sentence that
works: <i>"Je suis végétalien — sans viande, sans poisson, sans fromage, sans œufs, sans
beurre. C'est possible ?"</i> Corsicans are hospitable and will usually improvise something
good.</p>
<p><b>4. Notice.</b> Ring a mountain auberge in the morning and they will cook for you.
Walk in at 20:00 and they will apologise. This matters most at Bavella, Zonza and in
the Niolu.</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Corsican things that happen to be vegan</h3>
<p><b>Chestnut flour</b> is the island's other staple and it is everywhere: <i>pulenta
castagnina</i>, chestnut bread, chestnut beer. Check how the polenta is cooked — it is often
finished with cheese or served under charcuterie, but the base is just flour, water and salt.</p>
<p><b>Produce</b> is superb and cheap: tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, figs, clementines,
peaches, olives, olive oil, almonds. The Île-Rousse and Ajaccio markets are the best of them.</p>
<p><b>Canistrelli</b>, the ubiquitous biscuit, are traditionally made with white wine and oil
rather than butter — many are accidentally vegan. Read the packet, as recipes vary.</p>
<p style="color:var(--porphyry)"><b>Watch out for:</b> brocciu, which is in most traditional
dishes (and seasonal, roughly November to June); <i>soupe corse</i>, which is built on pork;
<i>figatellu</i>, which is liver sausage; and the habit of finishing pasta and salads with
cheese unless you say otherwise.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="note hike" style="max-width:80ch;margin-top:1.6rem">
<b>The easy days and the hard ones.</b> <b>Bastia (day 1) and Ajaccio</b> are genuinely easy —
between them they hold all three of the island's plant-based kitchens, so eat well and shop
properly on those days. <b>Corte</b> is a student town and copes fine. The stretches that need
planning ahead are <b>Cap Corse</b>, <b>the Agriates and Saleccia</b> (nothing at all on that
beach), <b>Piana and Arone</b>, <b>the Niolu</b>, <b>Bavella and the Alta Rocca</b>, and the
<b>Lavezzi islands</b>. On each of those the itinerary tells you where to shop the day before.
</div>
<p style="margin-top:1.4rem;font-size:.86rem;color:var(--muted);max-width:74ch">
Every place named above and in the daily plans exists in OpenStreetMap or HappyCow at the
coordinates given — none are invented. The badges record how strong the evidence is:
<b>Fully vegan</b> means a plant-based kitchen, <b>Vegan options</b> means vegan dishes are
confirmed, and <b>Veg-friendly — ask</b> means vegetarian food is on the menu and vegan is a
conversation. Menus change and small places close, so phone ahead where it matters.

<dl class="fact" style="display:block;margin:2rem 0 0">
<div class="fact">
<dt>Ferry out<small>Toulon → Bastia</small></dt>
<dd>
The film's crossing, and the one this route is built on: Corsica Ferries, overnight,
about 11–12 hours, arriving in Bastia in the morning ready to drive. Roughly
<b>€200–350 one way</b> for a van up to 6 m plus two passengers in shoulder season, more in
August, and priced by vehicle length — measure yours honestly, including the bike rack.
Book a cabin for an overnight sailing; you'll be hiking the next day.
</dd>
</div>
<div class="fact">
<dt>Ferry back<small>Bastia → Livorno</small></dt>
<dd>
Also the film's choice, and the smart one: <b>four hours</b> instead of twelve, usually cheaper,
and it puts you in Tuscany. Savona, Genoa, Nice and Marseille are the other options; Piombino
and Livorno are the shortest hops. Booking a different port out and back costs nothing extra.
</dd>
</div>
<div class="fact">
<dt>Speed and distance<small>the number that ruins plans</small></dt>
<dd>
1,448 km over 16 days sounds like nothing. It is <b>34 hours of moving time</b>, an average of
<b>43 km/h</b>, and in a van on the D81 or the D268 it will be slower. Two hours of mapped
driving is a half-day in Corsica. Never plan a hike and a long transfer on the same day.
</dd>
</div>
<div class="fact">
<dt>Roads a van should respect</dt>
<dd>
<b>D81 through the Calanches de Piana</b> — the pinch point of the island: single-lane sections,
rock overhangs, 300 m drops, and coaches. Under about 6 m and 3 m high you are fine; do it at
07:00 or after 18:00, never mid-morning.<br>
<b>D268 to Col de Bavella</b>, <b>D147 to Haut-Asco</b>, <b>D69 to Ghisoni</b>,
<b>D253 to Barcaggio</b>, <b>D71 through the Castagniccia</b> — all narrow, all fine taken
slowly, all twice as slow as the map says.<br>
<b>Restonica (D623)</b> — closed beyond the Pont de Tragone since the 2023 storms. Shuttle only.<br>
<b>Saleccia and Roccapina tracks</b> — unsurfaced. The Saleccia piste voids most rental
contracts; take the boat.
</dd>
</div>
<div class="fact">
<dt>Water, waste, gas</dt>
<dd>
Campsites are the reliable option and most sell a service-only visit for a few euros. There are
municipal <em>aires de camping-car</em> at Île-Rousse, Saint-Florent, Macinaggio, Solenzara and
Porto-Vecchio. Village fountains in the interior are drinkable unless signed otherwise.
French <b>Butagaz/Campingaz</b> bottles swap at any large supermarket; foreign bottles do not,
so bring enough or buy a French one on arrival. Fuel is scarce and shut on Sundays in the
interior — never cross the mountains below a half tank.
</dd>
</div>
<div class="fact">
<dt>The buffer day<small>day 16 does nothing on purpose</small></dt>
<dd>
The plan is fifteen days of content and <b>sixteen days away</b>. Night 15 is spent 20
minutes from the ferry gate, and day 16 has nothing in it that matters. Corsica will take a
day off you sooner or later — a storm on the Bavella road, a puncture on the D81, a hike
that runs three hours over, a ferry that reschedules — and the alternative to a buffer is
that the missing day comes out of the crossing you already paid for. If nothing goes wrong,
you get the Castagniccia and a calm morning. That is not a wasted day; it is the cheapest
insurance on the trip.
</dd>
</div>
<div class="fact">
<dt>Check-in windows<small>the constraint most plans ignore</small></dt>
<dd>
Corsican campsite receptions typically run <b>08:00–12:00 and 15:00–19:30</b>, and close
earlier at altitude and outside July–August; hotels check in <b>from 15:00</b> and out by
10:00–11:00. So two rules shape every day here. <b>Don't plan to arrive late:</b> every day
carries a "be at your bed by" time, generally 18:00, and the driving is sized to hit it.
<b>Don't plan to arrive early either:</b> your room is not ready at 09:00, which is why day
one leaves the bags at reception and goes walking. These windows are typical, not promises —
confirm yours, especially if you will land after 19:00.
</dd>
</div>
<div class="fact">
<dt>Sunsets need checking in first</dt>
<dd>
Three of the best hours of this trip are after 20:30: the Calanches de Piana, the Îles
Sanguinaires and the tower at Nonza. Late May sunset is around 21:00 and no reception is
taking an arrival then. Each of those days is built to <b>check in first and go back
out</b> — the pitch or the room is already yours, so coming back at 22:00 costs nothing.
</dd>
</div>
<div class="fact">
<dt>When to go</dt>
<dd>
<b>May–June</b> is what you are watching in the film: waterfalls at full flow, snow still on
Cinto and Rotondo, wildflowers, sea around 19 °C, and campsites with space. <b>September</b>
trades the waterfalls for a warm sea and the same emptiness. <b>July–August</b> means booked-out
sites, doubled prices, fire bans and a queue at Palombaggia — go if you must, but reserve
everything and start every day at dawn.
</dd>
</div>
<div class="fact">
<dt>Three travellers, one route</dt>

The pins are tagged for the three moods this trip mixes. <b>Nature & hiking</b> days:

and 15. <b>Towns & culture</b> days: 1, 11, 12, with old towns also sitting inside days
4, 5 and 13. Days 9 and 10 are the natural split point: one of you takes the Navetta up the
Restonica for Melo while the other has Corte's museums and a long lunch, and you meet for
dinner in the old town.

Renting a campervan instead adds roughly €90–160 a day in shoulder season and more in August;
picking one up on the island avoids the ferry vehicle charge entirely, which is often the cheaper
arithmetic for a two-week trip.

<h3 style="margin-top:2.8rem;font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.5rem">Pack for two climates</h3>
<ul class="pack">
<li><b>Proper hiking boots</b> — Melo, Bavella and Capo Rosso are rock, not path</li>
<li><b>2 × 1 L bottles each</b> plus a bladder for the long days</li>
<li><b>Fleece and windproof shell</b> — Vergio and Bavella are 1,200–1,500 m and cold at dawn</li>
<li><b>Water shoes</b> for the river canyons and shingle beaches</li>
<li><b>Head torch</b> — for the 8-hour Melo day and for cooking after sunset</li>
<li><b>Levelling blocks and chocks</b> — almost nowhere in Corsica is flat</li>
<li><b>Long water hose and a watering can</b> — many taps are nowhere near a pitch</li>
<li><b>Mosquito net for the sliding door</b> — the east-coast plain in summer</li>
<li><b>Paper map (IGN Corse)</b> — mobile signal dies in the Niolu and Asco</li>
<li><b>Offline maps downloaded</b> before you leave the coast</li>
<li><b>Snorkel and mask</b> — Lavezzi, Rondinara and Scandola deserve it</li>
<li><b>Reef-safe sun cream, hat, sunglasses</b> — no shade on any coastal hike</li>
<li><b>Tick remover and antihistamine</b> — maquis and grazing animals</li>
<li><b>A French gas bottle</b> or enough gas for two weeks</li>
<li><b>Cash</b> — small mountain bars and some campsites still prefer it</li>
<li><b>A cool box or fridge you trust</b> — brocciu, charcuterie and rosé are the point</li>
