As bucolic as you could wish, ride along the roads in the springtime where the orchards are in full bloom offering a firework display of colours and fragrancies. Mouchet pond is a well-chosen spot for a total connection with nature.

Flora
The forest of Charmes
Here we are at the top of the hill amidst hornbeam, oak and chestnut trees. Hornbeam with its ribbed trunk is characteristic of the forests in the north of the county. In the spring before the leaves grow and we hear the churping of tits, warblers and chaffinches, is the time when many plants like violets, lungworts or barren strawberries make the most of the light to poke their heads through the undergrowth. Later on in the season, the leaves offer a pleasant and cool shade.
