Presentation
Ile-Rousse is the other seaside resort along this stretch of coastline. Its name originates from the red porphyry rocks from the Ile de la Pietra, just to the north of the town. A former Roman trading post, its main period of growth stemmed from the time of Pascal Paoli, who built a port and ramparts here in order to compete for maritime trade on the route between Genoa and Calvi. Its climate is so pleasant that the town was nicknamed the "île douce" or "mild island". Nothing can be more pleasant that strolling beneath the shade of the centuries-old plane trees in Place Paoli or playing boules on the Grande Place, lined with date palms.
