Corsica in posters, between sea and mountains

Corsica in posters is about more than beaches. The posters capture the white cliffs of Bonifacio as well as the mountain villages of the interior, in a style reminiscent of travel posters from the 1930s to the 1950s.

The west coast, harbors and islands

Fishing harbors, offshore islands, bays in the evening light: Corsica’s west coast inspires several compositions, from Art Deco to a more illustrative style.

Bonifacio, the limestone cliffs

Bonifacio remains the island’s most recognizable image, with its white cliffs towering over the sea. A poster of this site works just as well on its own as paired with another Mediterranean view.

The island’s interior

Mountain landscapes featuring a shepherd and his sheep, old hillside villages, or chestnuts roasted over a wood fire complete the picture of a more rural Corsica, less often shown than the coastal postcards.

Where to hang a Corsica poster

A living room or an entryway suits this kind of poster well, on its own or in a gallery wall with other Mediterranean destinations such as the Amalfi Coast. The A3 size suits most walls; to pair Bonifacio, the coast and the interior together, A4 makes a small 3-frame gallery easy.

Red rocks, beyond the white of Bonifacio

The poster of the Corsican bay with red granite rocks and a umbrella pine changes the palette from Bonifacio, already described above with its white cliffs: turquoise water lined with red rocks, for another shade of the Corsican coast.

A coastal village, beyond the named harbors

The poster of the Corsican coastal village, with its Genoese tower and boats, shifts the focus from Ajaccio and Bastia, already mentioned by name: an unnamed fishing village, its colorful boats pulled up on the sand at the foot of the tower, for the feel of a small harbor with no specific name.

Chestnuts, by the fireside too

Beyond the mountain landscape and its shepherd already described, the “Chestnut Harvest” poster changes register: an old woman roasts chestnuts over a wood fire in a Castagniccia alley, her basket at her feet, a village scene more than a landscape.

Frequently asked questions

You often ask us

Which Corsican towns appear in the posters?

Ajaccio and its Sanguinaires Islands, Bonifacio and its limestone cliffs, and Bastia appear most often, alongside mountain and seaside landscapes not tied to a specific town.

Can you pair a Corsica poster with another Mediterranean destination?

Yes, a Corsica poster pairs well with an Italy or Provence poster in the same gallery wall, since the graphic styles are close.
