Corsica in France, Chic Island that is Charmingly Different

by

corsica

The French have always vacationed in Corsica, even the Europeans have long known the beauty of Corsica. Its people from other countries who have yet to discover this enchanting place in France. And yes, Bollywood has been here too.

Although Corsica is a part of France, it differs from the mainland in several ways – customs, cuisine, language and character – but the fact is that Corsica still remains one of the most fascinating places on earth.

Corsica is a delightful port town, surrounded by rugged mountains, soft sandy beaches, medieval towns and beautiful hillside villages. Corsica imbibes cultural influences from Italy, North Africa, and France, which is apparent from the music, food and religious events in Corsica.

Holidays in Corsica means canoeing, hiking, idling on the beach, cruising on the sea, exploring the history of the island, and relishing the local cuisine. The people here know how to party with several entertainment events taking place.

Ranbir & Deepika Do Tamasha on French Island Corsica

The golden pair of Ranbir Kapoor & Deepika Padukone are coming together again, this time for ‘Tamasha’, directed by Imtiaz Ali. Deepika & Ranbir had parted ways in real life (although not amicably), but they being professionals, have decided to keep their personal differences aside and have come together in a movie after a long time.

‘Tamasha. has several scenes that were shot in Corsica, an island in the Mediterranean Sea belonging to France.

And because its directed by Imtiaz Ali, you can expect the romantic story to be a bit different.

Ved (Ranbir) and Tara (Deepika) don’t want to, what’s meant to be a holiday fling, to end up like Romeo and Juliet or Heer and Ranjha or Laila and Majnu and so agree to lie to each other about themselves and never to meet, once Corsica is behind them.

Alas, it doesn’t quite work out as planned and that’s when it all gets a little emotional.

After the scene was shot, Deepika took a camera and started clicking pictures of Ranbir, who was more than happy to play along and gave different poses (was he trying to impress her ex? Who knows!).
