T1’s third souvenir outlet is easy to miss
In Terminal T1 at Bastia-Poretta (BIA), Souvenir Shop 3 sits in an airport where at least one reviewer on Flightradar24 said they “couldn’t find any shops behind the security.” Treat it as a bonus stop rather than a guaranteed shopping run. Signage around the small departures area changes, so pay attention to overhead boards and simple “Boutique / Shop” arrows as you walk toward the gates.
This is airport pricing, not city pricing: expect small Corsican items and keychains starting around €5 and boxed food gifts or larger souvenirs pushing past €15–€20. Stock can feel thin outside core summer months of July and August, and there’s no clear brand website or published opening hours. If your flight leaves before 09:00 or after 20:00, assume shutters might be down and don’t count on a last-minute gift here.
Watch out for timing and location. With only T1 in play at Bastia-Poretta and a compact layout, you won’t walk more than 5–7 minutes from check-in to any gate. That’s good, because Souvenir Shop 3 may not be obvious until you’re already near boarding. Priority: clear security first, then scan the immediate departures space; if you don’t see three distinct souvenir points, this “third” shop is likely closed that day.
Practical tip: if you really need Corsican products, buy in town before heading to the airport, then use Souvenir Shop 3 only for small top-ups or a last extra magnet when it happens to be open.
