Land of birds
Located on the migration route of the great travelling birds, the park is home to a large number of species (80 species of migratory birds and 130 species of breeding birds). Thus, you will be able to observe the spectacle of migratory birds such as grey cranes, black storks and purple herons throughout the seasons.
Symphony of the bellow
At the beginning of autumn, during the mating season, loud and raucous cries resound every night in the Forêt d'Orient. The stag's bellow marks the beginning of the breeding season. Alone or accompanied by a forest guide, you can enjoy this unique spectacle.
