About

The island of Corsica will host the first stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2012...

France has been an integral part of the World Series calendar ever since La Rochelle hosted the very first competition back in May 2009. Now in its fourth year, the world’s best cliff divers come back to France for the Series’ opener again, but have this time chosen the southern tip of the island of Corsica where they will dive off the remnants of the old Saint Francois cannon base. Perched on a limestone pedestal, Bonifacio is one of the most spectacular towns in all the Mediterranean. The citadel walls and ancient houses appear to rise out of sheer cliffs that have been striated by wind and waves. Beneath, a narrow inlet forms a natural harbour, home to a busy port. Only 12km from Sardinia, the town is more Italian than French in atmosphere, and even has its own dialect based on Ligurian Italian.
