What is Sustainable Corsica?

Corsica, beyond the usual image

Sustainable Corsica is an independent editorial website dedicated to slower, more conscious and more meaningful ways of discovering Corsica.

The island is often presented through a limited set of images: beaches, summer holidays, postcard landscapes and a few famous places. These images are not false, but they are incomplete.

Corsica is also made of mountain villages, rural territories, local languages, agricultural traditions, cultural initiatives, fragile ecosystems, everyday communities and complex relationships between tourism, identity, economy and land.

Sustainable Corsica was created to explore these dimensions and to offer visitors a different way to approach the island: with curiosity, respect and attention.

What we mean by sustainable tourism

For us, sustainable tourism in Corsica is not only about nature protection, although this is essential.

It is also about understanding the people who live here, the history of the island, its languages, its cultural practices, its rural areas, its local products and the challenges faced by small communities.

A more responsible way to travel in Corsica means taking time to learn, choosing places and experiences with care, respecting local life, and seeing the island as a territory rather than a product.

Tourism can be positive when it supports real exchanges, local initiatives and meaningful discovery. It becomes a problem when it only consumes places without trying to understand them.

Our editorial approach

Sustainable Corsica publishes articles about slow travel, ecotourism, heritage, culture, museums, nature, villages, local initiatives, public transport, responsible accommodation and lesser-known aspects of the island.

The aim is not to produce a complete travel guide or to promote every destination in the same way. The website is built as a small editorial space, updated over time, with a focus on stories, places and initiatives that help visitors understand Corsica more deeply.

Some content is also gradually made available in Spanish, as reliable information about Corsica in Spanish remains relatively limited.

Who is behind Sustainable Corsica?

Sustainable Corsica was created and is edited in Corsica by Guillaume Bereni.

Alongside this editorial work, Guillaume runs Mare è Monti Conseil, an independent consulting activity supporting local projects, associations, public bodies, social economy structures and small organisations in Corsica.

This professional background influences the way Sustainable Corsica looks at the island: not only as a destination, but as a living territory shaped by local projects, constraints, choices and initiatives.

A living project

Sustainable Corsica is not a large media outlet and does not aim to become a general tourism platform. It is a living editorial project, built step by step, with articles added or updated when useful.

The website may occasionally feature local initiatives, cultural projects, heritage places, responsible tourism approaches or territorial experiences when they are consistent with its editorial line.

The objective remains the same: to help readers discover Corsica with more depth, more respect and more attention to what makes the island a living territory.
