The park:
There are more than 35 different species of trees, you can only enjoy the park: sitting on the benches, watching birds ,wild deers coming to drink in the pond. In the pond carps, peaks are huge and healthy. In each season, you admire the colours of the woods, the bird's songs and just be quiet.
From the estate you walk in the Foret de Saint Gobain with managed loops around the village.
