Picnicking in Dombes

Savor, enjoy… you are in Dombes

Imagine Dombes, a land of a thousand ponds, as a festival of colors, scents, and sounds. The deep blue of the water contrasts with the myriad greens of the vegetation. The intermittent chorus of frogs is accompanied by the songs of wild birds.

Take a moment to relax and observe the dances on the calm waters of the ponds. The gray heron, the master of the place, might even grace you with its presence!

So, what could be better than a lunch in the heart of nature and a leisurely stroll to explore and discover Dombes at a slow pace ?

Don’t leave your trash behind

Preserve nature

Let’s preserve natural spaces

To ensure that everyone can continue to enjoy the natural beauty of Dombes, we remind you to pick up your trash after every picnic.

Preserving our natural sites, their wildlife, and flora is a shared responsibility. By keeping these places clean, you actively contribute to the protection of our environment.

Keep your dogs on a leash

Protect the surrounding wildlife

An essential habit

Many species (birds, mammals, etc.) use the shady and quiet spots provided by Dombes’ ponds and forests for nesting and raising their young.

A dog’s visit to different nests, reed beds, or burrows can disturb animals, sometimes leading to abandoned nests or even losses among the young.

To best protect the various species that nest and/or live on the pond edges and forest paths, we remind you that it is essential to keep your dogs on a leash and stay on marked trails.
