Located on the eastern coast between Bastia and Porto-Vecchio, the Oriente region, boasting a rich historical, cultural, and heritage identity, is the agricultural heart of Corsica. More than 300 farms operate there in 22 municipalities spread between the sea and the mountains.
You'll discover great, renowned AOP wines, award-winning cheeses, extra virgin olive oil that has won awards in international competitions, the famous Corsican PGI clementine—the only French clementine—the distillery of the multi-award-winning P&M whisky, sugarcane cultivation at the highest latitude in the world, the virtuous production of clementine juice, and various determined entrepreneurs who have chosen to imbue their products with the quality and flavors that honor this region.
We invite you to this getaway aboard a vintage Fiat 500 from the 1970s, over 50 years old! Together and in convoy, you will visit this region and its farms at their wheel.
THE PROGRAM :
In convoy following a guide-facilitator who will set the course and pace, the participants will travel the secondary roads of the Oriente, driving the cars themselves at a slow travel pace, hair in the wind, stopping at producers selected for their audacity and their commitment to developing the heritage offering.
FOR WHOM ?
For the curious, the observant, the lovers of authenticity and charm, for amateurs or professionals sensitive to tastes, colors, innovation, those who during their vacation will choose an instructive and authentic detour in an attractive and dynamic region.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ? :
Five Fiat 500s are at your disposal. Each has four seats, but their size makes carrying additional passengers practically impossible; therefore, we prioritize bookings for two people per vehicle. Please note that these same dimensions significantly reduce driving comfort for taller or larger individuals.
WHAT SERVICES INCLUDED ?
Our packages are all-inclusive. We take care of you from your arrival until your return; the only optional expenses are for any purchases you may make along the way.
WHO CAN DRIVE ?
Holders of a Category B (manual transmission) driving license held for at least three years, minimum age 25. These vintage cars (almost 60 years old), in good working order, serviced and with a recent MOT, lack power steering and brakes, which requires a little getting used to in the age of modern cars (although the FIAT 500 only weighs 500 kg)... The itinerary includes a briefing and a gentle start; we will be there throughout the tour to assist you.
WHAT TO BRING ?
Your driver's license, closed-toe shoes for the driver, sunscreen and hats for driving the convertible,
sunglasses, a swimsuit for the river stop, and of course, plenty of space for photos!
