Breathe in the forest

Forest walk in the heart of the Ingrannes massif

I’d been promising Tom, Julie and Agathe for a long time that one day they’d see the forest from above!
They didn’t believe me.

But yesterday we went for a walk in the forest.
They eagerly climbed the 127 steps to the top of the Caillettes lookout.
At a height of 24 metres, they discovered an orientation table.
It was breathtaking!

After gaining some height, we took the Bois Bézard trail.
This 15km trail runs through the Orléans forest, past the Etang de la Vallée and the Etangs Neuf and des Liesses.

We have obtained a fun booklet available at the visitor centre in Châteauneuf-sur-Loire.

Legends and history of the Orléans forest

I tried out the “Petits Pas vers soi” forest bath for you.
Francine is waiting for you at Seichebrières to tell you all about the Orléans Forest,
where you’ll be immersed in the heart of the trees on a 5 km trail.

She’ll tell you about the history of the Carnutes, and describe the tracks left by the animals and flowers you’ll come across.

Francine will invite you to join her in her search for Mont Méchelet and the Jarnonce ditches…
And then… magic…

I won’t say any more…
It’s up to you to discover…
