Lachaussée walks

Classified as a Regional Nature Reserve, the Lachaussée pond has remained in its natural state. Many birds have made their home here or stop here during their migration. It is a haven of peace for flora and fauna. Please note that it is forbidden to leave the existing paths, particularly around the ponds, as you may be liable for a heavy fine.
