Sartene Attractions

On the Corsica driving tour, from Bonifacio N196 runs northwest to Sartène. 32km/20mi from Bonifacio is the curious natural feature known as the Lion of Roccapina, a small rocky promontory which has been bizarrely carved by erosion into the form of a crouching lion. Sartène (pop. 3,410), chief place in the fertile Sartenais district, is beautifully situated above the valley of the Rizzanèse. The medieval old town is entered through the arched gateway of the town hall.
