A magnificent walk to do, birds to observe, a very well maintained site. You can do this walk with your family, it will allow your children to discover the beauty of nature and many species of birds. You will be in a different world. At the end of the walk, you can eat at the "Chalet", a very welcoming bar-restaurant. An exotic site.
