More ski resorts open in the French Alps this weekend due to exceptionally good snow conditions. The wave of cold weather which brought snow and in some cases, unfortunately, misery has been a big bonus for the French Alps and Pyrenees.Yesterday French television interviewed skiers enjoying perfect skiing conditions everywhere, the snow is light, soft and crisp, perfect powder and well covered pistes.

Corsican beaches featured heavily in a list of Europe’s Top Twenty beaches published by The Sunday Times, which included three Corsica beaches. The only surprise to us is that there weren’t more, OK we are biased, but also Corsica experts. Corsica is blessed with incredible natural assets, a wonderful Mediterraean climate, crystal clear seas, huge mountains and a perfect geographic location south of Nice in France and east of Grosseto in Italy. Its biggest asset is the Corsican people and a French governing state which have worked together...
