Memorable day! An excursion not to be missed. Wealth of the landscapes …comments ….dream beach (rather swimming pool) and 24 kms of track in this “desert” and this Corsican maquis. It's true it's moving but JLuc had such dexterity in driving that it was more impressive to see than to suffer. We shared this air-conditioned and comfortable luxury 4/4 with 2 other friendly couples, which made this trip very pleasant and we had a good laugh. The picnic offered was very good and frees you to fully enjoy the day Thank you Jean Luc we will do it again next year without hesitation

An essential walk! Aboard the 4x4 driven by Julie, a friendly guide and passionate about history, we headed from our Hotel to the Agriate desert by the arduous track to enjoy splendid views, discover the sheepfolds and cross the maquis. We spent a few hours on the beach of Ghignu with its turquoise colors and white sand. Swimming, walking, picnics…. The return was made by a second track to lead to a mountain pass with other magnificent spots,

A great day that moves, you will have your share of sensations Thank you very much to our guide Pascal for his sympathy, the slices of laughter, his explanations both on the fauna and the flora through history, geo and cinema, yes yes All this with perfect control of his vehicle and a perfect response to the challenges launched, many thanks for this wonderful day ❤️ The banks Ariane and Léa.

Very nice discovery of the deserts of Agriate. We had a great day with our driver and guide Edmond who shared his knowledge of this magnificent desert and its anecdotes with a lot of humor. The beach where we stopped for a picnic is magnificent and the water is translucent. Thank you Isa Sarah Mathis

Superb experience, a 4x4 ride on winding roads with a top driver, Pascal. The landscapes are magnificent, the relaxing break on a white sand beach with turquoise water is the icing on the cake. Thanks again to Pascal for sharing this knowledge of the fauna and flora with us... Magic!
