The ski center in Romme, a meeting place

“The ski center is communal, it belongs to the municipality of Nancy-sur-Cluses. There we find ski rentals, alpine ski pass sales, we have snacks and bars.”

Versatility and listening

“I am a manager, I take care of the home on a management and personal level, I do a little bit of accounting with the help of my municipal manager and the town hall secretary.

It's seasonal work, I've been working seasonally for years. I like interacting with people even if I’m not a big talker.”

Move from one subject to another

“I have a dual activity: I work at home in winter and in summer I am a lumberjack. I've been seasonal for over 10 years and it's a lifestyle that suits me well. That's a break in the year. You see other people and do other things, it's a lifestyle that suits me well.

Next season, I will be a forestry worker at the ONF, it remains in the natural environment. I need this: in winter, I'm pretty comfortable now, warm and less dependent on the weather and the vagaries of the weather. And in the summer, it’s a real pleasure to work outside.”
