Chestnut Fair: autumn flavors in Corsica

Are you planning to spend a little holiday in Corsica in autumn or are you thinking about this possibility? So you do not have to miss an appointment that will make you taste the autumn flavor par excellence: the 2018 edition of the Chestnut Fair of Bocognano, scheduled for 7-8-9 December.

 

A fiera di a castagna

This is the name in the Corsican language of the event. What will you find? It is soon said: some of the best local and international producers of chestnuts with renowned chefs. They will work to make you taste the most characteristic culinary specialties prepared with chestnuts, from the classic castagnaccio to the traditional roasted chestnuts.

If the palate plays a predominant role, do not forget that around the chestnut, literally, there is a whole world, made of traditions, stories, customs. And above all, there is an area to discover, as Bocognano is located right in the heart of Corsica: hiking and trekking enthusiasts have found a little paradise.

 

Napoleon’s palace

A last gem that will surely please you to know. In Bocognano there is what is generally called Napoleon’s palace: built by the will of the first French emperor between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, it was his summer residence. We advise you to visit it, so as to retrace the footsteps of the first French emperor.

 

How to get

You have already booked the ferry to Corsica, since you are thinking of a holiday here in autumn. The best way to get to Bocognano is to start from Ajaccio, on the west coast: just take the T21 first and then the T20 following the signs for Bocognano; the trip by car takes around three quarters of an hour.
