Why leave Marseille for Corsica?

Marseille is the natural gateway to the Isle of Beauty.
Ferries leave daily for Bastia, Ajaccio, Ile-Rousse or Porto-Vecchio, and Good Motors takes you to the port terminal in just a few minutes.

Pick up your bike at the Saint-Charles train station, load your bag, and off you go.
No hassle, no detours: just you, your bike and the promise of an unforgettable road trip.

Practical tip: leaving from Marseille allows you to avoid the extra costs of renting locally, and to benefit from a wider choice of models.

Embark with your motorcycle from the port of Marseille (Corsica Linea or La Méridionale companies).
Crossing time approx. 10 h, arriving early morning in Bastia.

A short but unforgettable stage.

Day 5 - Ajaccio → Bonifacio (140 km)

Magical arrival on the white cliffs of Bonifacio.

Day 6 - Bonifacio → Porto-Vecchio → Corte (150 km)
