Encyclopedic overview
Saint-Florent ( French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ flɔʁɑ̃]; Italian: San Fiorenzo, [saɱ fjoˈrɛntso]; Corsican: San Fiurenzu, [saɱ fjuˈrɛntsu]) is a commune in Haute-Corse department on the island of Corsica, France. Originally a fishing port located in the gulf of the same name, pleasure boats have now largely taken the place of fishing vessels.
Today, it is a popular summer vacation spot for many tourists because of its proximity to the Patrimonio vineyards and the Saleccia beach.
