Corsica leaves no one indifferent… You can see it from La Prom on sunny days. It is displayed on the rear window of your car as a souvenir of a crossing. We share it with friends around a Pietra or a piece of sausage. We listen to it with emotion in the secrecy of an old church. We are waiting for the summer to go find her. So, to wait, the Island of Beauty joins the continent exceptionally and installs its maquis at the Théâtre de Verdure in Nice. You have, at least, three good reasons to come and discover “Corsica on a walk in Nice”.
For the flavors of 30 island producers
Lovers of Corsica will not be disappointed with no less than thirty exhibitors present! Island producers ready to introduce you to their gastronomic treasures. You won’t be able to leave without a bag of canistrelli. Sweet or savory, with herbs from the maquis, dried tomatoes, olives, anise, almonds, chestnuts or even white wine! All the variations will be available… For the aperitif, you will be faced with the choice of the impossible between cheeses and charcuterie. So, brocciu, ewe, goat, tomme or lonzo, coppa, sausage?
As for sweets, savor the hazelnut from Cervioni transformed by Laurine Serra into sweet variations or honey from the apiaries of Clélia. Finally, for Corsican nectars – to be consumed in moderation – you will find the Pietra brasserie but also the wine estates: Poli, Gentile and Villa Angeli. Really, you will really be spoiled for choice to taste, savor, taste all the Corsican specialties.
For music with 3 concerts
An exceptional cultural platform awaits you with more than forty musicians and singers, ready to make you vibrate, capsize and dance! Opening of hostilities, Friday from 6:30 p.m. with the Cuscenza Group, created by students at Corte in 2015: fourteen people including eight singers, three guitarists, a violinist, a bassist and a drummer. But also the Supplement Cheese group; Jean Menconi, singer-songwriter from Porto-Vecchio and Antoine Ciosi who needs no introduction with his thirty albums in more than fifty years of career!
Saturday evening, make way for the In Cantu group! This group brings together artists from prestigious Corsican groups (Canta u populu corsu, Caramusa, etc.) and from the opera world, driven by the desire to return to the sources of polyphonic singing, refined and authentic.
