This is the great island whose lighthouse was built in 1845 and made famous by writer Alphonse Daudet. It is part of an archipelago of several other islands that are a paradise for seagulls and cormorants.
Around the Parata the municipality has created delightful and easy paths along which an amazing variety of plants grow in profusion, among them cistus, iris, mugwort and groundsel
Some accommodations located nearby the Sanguinary islands will enable you to enjoy an marvellous setting.
The sunsets on the Sanguinary islands are particularly flamboyant as red rays are reflected back from the ruby-red rock formations.
The islands were formerly known as Sangonaires, as they marked the separation between the gulfs of Sagone and Ajaccio.
