shewhomust | Sufficient unto the year are the holidays thereof...

You'd think, wouldn't you? When I picked up Saturday's travel supplement and read "Need inspiration for this year's summer hoilday?" I sneered. No, I don't, nor for next year's either. And after that I've still plenty of ideas, it's which one to pick that's the problem...

Despite which, the first suggestion in that article is rather tempting: Jacqueline Mirtelli of Atout, the France Tourism Development Agency recommends Corsica, and specifically the Cap Corse, the promontory on the north of the island (map) - not a tourist area, she says, but very mountainous, very wild and beautiful, with tiny, sparsely inhabited fishing and mountain villages. In the middle, there is a walking trail called the Chemin de Lumière: eight chapels that helped medieval travellers cross the Cape through the mountains. I suspect that the walk is more challenging than that suggests: this detailed description, for example implies that the chapels are not strung out along the route but cluster in the villages at either end. But Corsica is somewhere I'd like to visit, and this corner of it sounds worth the detour (as the green Michelin guides say).
