Walking in the Dombes

Breathe deeply, you’re in the Dombes

The Dombes, land of a thousand ponds, can be imagined as a festival of colors, scents and sounds. The deep blue of the water contrasts with the multiple greens of the vegetation. The intermittent concert of frogs is accompanied by the songs of wild birds. Stop for a moment and watch the ballet of birds on the calm waters of the ponds. Perhaps the grey heron that reigns here will honor you with its presence!

So, what could be better than a gentle stroll to explore the Dombes at a leisurely pace?
