IGN cards
Description
As you pass through the forest on the hillside and across the fields of crops on the plateau, you can find out all about the natural environment thanks to fifteen thematic information boards designed by schoolchildren in the Vuache area.
This walk located in the municipalities of Jonzier-Epagny, Chênex, Dingy-en-Vuache and Savigny, will reveal your detective soul, finding the hidden words in the educational panels of the trail (designed by children).
There are 2 Detective Nature booklets (available on the website of the Pays du Vuache), each in the form of a question/answer game, where all the questions find their solutions in the 15 educational panels of the trail. They are aimed at budding naturalists aged «8-10 years» and «over 10 years», accompanied by their parents
