“As long as we have chestnuts, then we have bread,” is the motto of Corsica. For centuries chestnut trees have played a vital role in agricultural life.

Today the elderly sip their aperitifs along the streets and remember how until mid-century the chestnut trees were cut down and used for print shops and to fuel local factories. This almost caused the chestnut forests to become extinct. However, for several years now, the forests are being cared for again and the chestnut groves, perched on amazingly steep mountain slopes, are being cultivated.
