The Route Forestière 6 was a road in Corsica established in 1854 by the Décret Imperial 1782. It was built to develop one of Corsica's forests for the timber industry. Operated by the state, it had the status of a national road. The F6 branched off from the National Road 198 south of Aléria and led to Vivario. It was 45 kilometers long. It was downgraded in 1973.

The Vecchio rises on the Monte d'Oro and is initially called Agnone. This river is best known for its Cascades des Anglais, which attract hundreds of tourists every day in high season. From the hamlet of Vizzavona onwards, the river is called Vecchio and you only meet very few people. Shortly after entering Canaglia, it joins the Manganello. Here the Vecchio valley becomes very lonely. On the right-hand side, far above the riverbed, the railway line winds its way along the hills, barely visible. You don't notice the busy T20, which lies behind the hills. You only see it when you get off at the Ponte Vecchio. High above us, it crosses the Vecchio valley on the new bridge. Later, the Vecchio flows into the Tavignano, which reaches the sea near Aléria.
