Expériences à vivre au château
Forest Immersion
Our forest, an immense green lung of 400 ha, offers itself to all your desires: walks, on foot or on horseback (30 km of bridle paths), mushroom picking, boat rides and the art of photography... Our booklet of walks with map will guide you. The most daring will adopt our recommendations, notably clothing and schedules (take advantage of the dawn and the sunset!): by crawling or from our observation tower, you can thus observe - if you are patient and courageous - deer, wild boars, hares, foxes, woodcocks, wild swans and so many others...
