Go to Google Earth and type in Tolla, Fr. This is a town on a man made lake (Tolla) in the mountains of Corsica. Google street view will give you an idea what the average medium sized town outside of Ajaccio looks like.
Medium is tiny compared to American standards. The buildings are old and built with local materials. The roads are very narrow and will open your eyes to how people out side the coastal cities live on most of the island. When checking out some of these small villages I loved how many ATVs I saw parked along the road in front of homes.
If I wanted to go hide somewhere and didn't want to make it easy to find me, Corsica would be the place. It is a very pretty and rural island.
