Added by Cordonnier Aurélien

Description

Five bird hides are accessible by a path. This route is particularly suitable for kids. Accessible at all seasons. A 5.5 km loop goes around the l'Espace Naturel Sensible and engages a little further in nature, in the middle of meadows and reeds. The site is rich in different environments and the observatories are close to the birds. Be careful in winters, the water prevents access to certain observatories.
