A passionate woman testifies!

"The Cévennes d'Ardèche is a true paradise for mountain biking! Between the climb to Tanargue, the single tracks from Sablières to Thines and the technical trails on the Drobie slope, I found routes that were both demanding and super varied. Wild landscapes, riding, endurance... An incredible playground that I recommend to all riders!"

About Marlene

As a local child, for my part leaving Ardèche at the end of my studies was not an option. Curious, spontaneous and bubbly, I am very attached to my department. My Cévennes roots probably have a lot to do with it! Living and working in the Cévennes d'Ardèche was an obvious choice for me.
The sense of contact, listening, empathy, enthusiasm, expertise, have a common meaning. The Cévennes d'Ardèche, a beautiful territory for sale that I know almost like the back of my hand. A territory with character, relief, faults, wounds, passionate and exciting men and women. A true authenticity that I have tried to transmit for 20 years at the reception at the tourist office.
From physical reception to digital reception…
In the 2000s, the Web revolutionized the world of work and did not spare the tourism sector. In 2010, I decided to take the digital turn, to train myself and to deepen my knowledge by following a training course as a Digital Territory Animator. A real revelation for me. New skills, new missions, a new momentum that gave me the desire to continue my training and to obtain the title of Digital Project Manager in 2018.
My missions are varied and no two days are the same: running the website, producing content to feed social networks and the Blog (photos, articles, graphics, etc.), supporting tourism professionals in digital technology by training them in online booking tools, administering digital terminals and the hiking portal, providing after-sales service and fixing small and large computer bugs (Ah, the mysteries of IT!!), not forgetting ongoing training and monitoring to stay in the crazy digital race!
Opportunities, encounters, challenges, determination... my journey is such that if I had to do it again I wouldn't hesitate for a second!"
