remarkable areas to preserve

Nature is beautiful but fragile. Some places are so beautiful because of their exceptional flora and fauna that they must be protected.

    • Refreshing hikes

    When it’s very hot, we sometimes hesitate to go hiking. And yet! Follow a path while letting yourself be guided by the murmur of the water, hear the roar of a waterfall in the distance and approach it until you feel the fine droplets of water on your skin, follow a stream through the -wood, enjoy the shade of a forest: these hikes allow you to walk in a cool environment over a large part of the route.
