Two
work experience contracts and one position as Director of the regional
natural Park of Perche
150 km away from Paris, in a well preserved environment, Perche
park welcomes you for a green getaway between forests, hills and
wooded countryside, and to meet its inhabitants. Country houses,
parks and gardens, draft horses, products of the land, Perche is
enjoyed at the pace of its quiet routes. Country of transition between
the Paris river basin to the east and the armorican mountains to
the west, Perche can be distinguished from its neighboring regions
by its relief and its geology, origin of its diversity and the specificity
of its natural surroundings and landscapes. In other times there
were improvised quarries near the construction places. White stones,
roofing tiles, dyed sands and ceramic clay heighten the silex, "grison"
(dark ferruginous clay ) and the "roussard" clay (reddish
brown).
