Explore Bonifacio’s natural areas

Bonifacio, in the flesh

In Bonifacio, nature unfolds on a grand scale. Situated on the edge of the nearly 80,000-hectare Bouches de Bonifacio Nature Reserve, the area is home to 37 per cent of the Mediterranean’s remarkable species. Limestone cliffs, the granite outcrops of the Lavezzi archipelago, the maquis of the Trinité massif, the unspoilt coastline of Testa-Ventilègne and ancient stone paths combine to form a remarkable diversity of landscapes. These are living, fragile environments, to be explored with care so that we may better understand, respect and preserve them.

Discover the flora and fauna of Bonifacio

On land, in the air and under the sea, Bonifacio’s natural areas are home to a particularly rich biodiversity. Seabirds, land-based species, the Mediterranean seabed and flora adapted to the local conditions all form part of a living heritage that is as remarkable as it is fragile.
