    Description

    I am a professional high school teacher. Passionate about hiking and horseback riding. During my vacation, I renovated a small sheepfold in the Corsican mountains.

    Je suis prof en lycée professionnel. Passionnée de randonnée à pied et à cheval. Pendant mes vacances, je retape une petite bergerie dans la montagne corse.

    granddaughter of shepherds, I hike in the region (plateau at 1300m altitude). I know quite a bit about the local flora/fauna. The place is isolated but in the heart of preserved nature. Possibility of swimming in rivers. I speak English/Italian

    petite fille de bergers, je randonne dans la région (plateau à 1300m d'altitude). Je connais pas mal de choses sur la flore/faune locale. L'endroit est isolé mais au cœur d'une nature préservée. Possibilité de baignade en rivières. Je parle anglais/italien

    The land is large and there is a lot of maintenance (fences, clearing, etc.) to prevent wild boars, pigs and deer... from devastating everything. So prune thorn bushes, plant stakes, stretch wire mesh. I have a small vegetable garden that needs to be maintained. I have 3 horses that transhume with me in the summer and that also need to be taken care of.

    Le terrain est grand et il y a pas mal d'entretien (clôtures, démaquisage...) pour empêcher les sangliers, les cochons et les cerfs... de tout dévaster. Donc tailler des épineux, planter des piquets, tendre du grillage.
    je fais un petit potager qu'il faut entretenir
    J'ai 3 chevaux qui transhument avec moi l'été et dont il faut s'occuper aussi.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Located in the Alta Rocca region in southern Corsica, there are many outdoor activities (hiking/canyoning/climbing....) It is essential to have a vehicle because there is no transport in common and the road is a dead end...so the hitchhiking: meh... Of course I can sometimes organize and participate in activities in the region.

    Situé dans la région de l'Alta Rocca en Corse du sud, il y a de nombreuses activités de pleine nature (rando/canyoning/escalade....) Il est indispensable d'avoir un véhicule car il n'y a aucun transport en commun et la route est un cul de sac...donc le stop : bof...
    Bien sûr je peux parfois organiser et participer à des activités dans la région.
