GEOGRAPHY
To the exception of her bigger part of the oriental
facade, Corsica is a mountainous island.
She is crossed by
some basins as Corte.
The altitude and the insularity
influence the Mediterranean climate.
What drags a terracing
of a vegetation where dominates the scrub and an increase of
precipitations.
The tourism is especially present on
coasts.
A regional natural park juxtaposes himself to the
massive principals of the inside.
The essential resources
are the ovine raising for the production of cheeses, often refined
to Roquefort, the grapevine and the fruit or market cultures in the
oriental plain.
The tertiary sector regroups more the
half of the active population.
He is essentially present in
the two main cities of Ajaccio and Bastia.
The weakness of
the industry is bound to the natural and human
reasons.
They are difficult to fight.
It is about
the poverty of the basement, of problems of the insularity or the
weakness of the population.
It justifies the
traditional emigration toward the continental France that cut down
nevertheless.
The island also welcomed repatriates of
Africa of the North.
To note, the increase of the
underemployment.
Corsica, is the only French region to
benefit the European funds of help to the development.
The
agro-food and the BTP represent close to eight uses on
ten.
Finally, the economic life is present in the
administration and activities bound to the
tourism.
