    Let's walk in the park

    The 5 hectares of the park are an incentive for daydreaming and relaxation; small bridges, rocks, green expanses punctuate the landscape; The murmurs of the water, the songs of birds, the rustling of the leaves, the thumping of carp in the water punctuate the walk.

    The park is a haven for wildlife; you can observe ducks, herons, squirrels and even a kingfisher if you are lucky on the day of your visit!
