Pigna
Balagne's most beautiful craft village, with stone lanes lined with instrument and pottery workshops and a hall for traditional Corsican polyphonic music.
Pigna is a small village on the slopes of Balagne's hills. Residents and artists revived it together in the 1960s, and it is now known for its crafts and music. Stone-paved lanes are lined with workshops making traditional Corsican instruments, pottery and music boxes. The village's House of Voices (Maison des Voix) regularly hosts concerts of Corsican polyphonic singing, and an international music festival is held here in summer. The village entrance has a terrace with views of the coast and the town of L'Île-Rousse. Cars are banned inside the village, so you need to park outside and walk in.
