Description
The remains of the complex of St John the Baptist (which is made up of a pre-Romanesque church dating back to the 10^th century and of a baptistery dating back to the 13^th century) are located at an altitude of 430 metres to the south-east of Corte. The baptistery is better preserved than the church, of which only the apse remains.
This walk will allow you to discover a place full of charm in the midst of nature: good shoes are necessary, even if this walk is perfect for families with children.
If you like mushrooms, then you must know that this area is known to be a paradise for mycologists from all over Europe: five hundred different species of mushrooms have already been identified here. Pay attention because the girolle can be confused with the jack-o'-lantern mushroom, which is poisonous.
