Or is it really France? Perhaps legally, but Corsicans definitely see themselves as Corsican first and French a very distant second. This makes the island a unique part of France and Europe as a whole. For this reason Geoff and Alexa decided to take in the island of Corsica for themselves! In this video, Alexa and Geoff head to the island of Corsica where they'll explore the towns of Bastia, Corte and Ajaccio. And to get to each of them? They'll be riding the tiny train that almost nobody knows about! In fact, most people who visit Corsica will rent a car or campervan without ever even hearing about the tiny train that will take you through some of the most scenic areas in all of Europe. -- Chapters: 0:00 - France's Big, But Mostly Empty Island 0:50 - Good Morning in Bastia 3:34 - The Corsican Language 4:12 - Something Hiding in the Tree... 4:58 - Corsica Train System 6:13 - We're Officially Off! 7:44 - Corsica's Unique Geography 9:02 - The Mountain Stronghold of Corte 10:20 - Corte Airbnb Tour 11:39 - Exploring Corte's Views & Authentic Food 15:22 - Day Two in Corsica 17:30 - On the Train Again 18:12 - Arriving in Ajaccio 18:32 - A Tiny Tour of a Tiny Airbnb 19:28 - The Hunt For a Charcuterie Board 20:47 - Exploring Ajaccio 22:19 - Napoleon Bonaparte's Influence 23:51 - Finding Charcuterie (kind of) 25:01 - Final Thoughts & Sneak Peak of Next Week 25:57 - Bloopers -- This video was filmed in August 2025.
