An inspiring walk, inspired by nature.

Open to all, with free access from 26 May to 21 September, the Chemins d'Artistes 2024 organised by the Ruban Vert allows visitors to admire around forty works by national and local artists, children's works and works of nature.It passes through the Arènes du Bocage, a former chalk quarry that was almost turned into a landfill but was saved by the municipality of Égriselles-le-Bocage and became an open-air theatre. It too has inspired many artists and is set to remain beyond 2024.

The path reveals the intertwining of the forest and human activities, agricultural enclaves, hamlets, logging areas, always close to the majestic atmosphere of the forest. From the top of these tall trees, centuries contemplate us. It also shows the first impacts of climate change, with dry ponds, emaciated trees and new species. It invites us to give the forest back its freedom to adapt and migrate at its own pace, to let it take control. The trail aims to restore a sense of confidence in what nature and the forest can achieve with and even without us. It is this forest that the Ruban Vert wishes to help migrate to the next forest massifs of the woods and ponds of the Gâtinais in Burgundy.
