Description of the walk

Parking is available in the car park accessed via Chemin de Chanterelle.

(S/E) At the end of the car park, enter the arboretum by going through the gates.

(1) Start your walk on the left; signs will tell you about the species found on the site.

(2) Continue straight on towards the pond.

(3) Once you reach the buildings, take the path on the right, head towards the pond and go round it on the left.

(4) Turn right to complete the walk around the pond.

(5) Head left so as not to return straight away via the path you came along, and rejoin it further on. Take it on the left.
