[FR] Le village de Zonza est bien connu des randonneurs qui se dirigent vers les sublimes aiguilles de Bavella autour desquelles on admire d'impressionnants pins Laricio déformés par les vents dominants. De part et d'autre du village, de vieux châtaigniers déploient leur houppier depuis plus de mille ans. Il s'agit certe d'une estimation mais la circonférence du tronc, plus de 10 mètres, permet de penser qu'il s'agit d'arbres millénaires. L'un des deux se dresse dans une prairie privée face à l'auberge du Mouflon-d'Or. L'autre se situe en contrebas du village sur la route de Bavella.
[EN] The village of Zonza is well known for hikers who head for the gorgeous needles of Bavella around which we admire impressive Laricio pines deformed by the prevailing winds. On both sides of the village, old chestnut trees have been spreading their crowns for over a thousand years. It is certainly an estimate but the circumference of the trunk, more than 10 meters, suggests that these are millennia trees. One of them stands in a private meadow opposite the Mouflon-d'Or inn. The other is below the village on the road to Bavella.
