La Rochelle to Corsica: Which transport is the most cost-effective?
Litanybank · 2026-10-09 · Message 1 of 4
I'M PLANNING TO GO TO CORSICA IN 2027, EITHER IN JUNE OR MAYBE SEPTEMBER (haven't decided yet).
I'd like to know which is the most cost-effective way to get there from La Rochelle: by plane or by boat?
Once there, I'd rent a basic car (though I don’t know which agency yet).
I plan to do the 10-day *Mare a Mare* hike.

hi
I’m planning to do the 10-day *mare a mare* hike
There are 3 options:
*Mare a Mare* North, Center, and South.
The best one (in my opinion) is the North route from Moriani (east coast) to Cargèse (west coast), which you can do in 10 or 12 days. It’s a really varied and stunning hike.
For info, another beautiful hike is the *Mare e Monti* (my personal favorite).
As for transport, well, it depends on a lot of factors. You’ll need to compare options.
Are you traveling solo, as a pair, or in a group?
That changes everything... Flying seems like the best option if you’re going alone

Current options:
- Non-daily flights with low-cost airline Volotea from Bordeaux to 4 Corsican cities.
- Same from Nantes,
- Non-daily flights with low-cost airline Ryanair from La Rochelle to Marseille.
La Rochelle to Marseille possible by train with a connection in Bordeaux.
