Description
A walk along the edge of the Dombes ponds, alternating between dirt tracks and tarmac roads. There are two tricky sections (approx. 1.9km on the départementale), but they're well worth the effort to catch a glimpse of egrets, herons, great crested grebes, ducks and swans.
Close to the ViaRhôna and the Voie Bleue, the Dombes is also a great area for cycling, walking and horse-riding! It's up to you to choose your itinerary and your means of locomotion...
Breathe in, breathe out, you're in the Dombes.
Imagine the Dombes, land of a thousand ponds, as a festival of colors, scents and sounds. The deep blue of the water contrasts with the many greens of the vegetation. The intermittent concert of frogs is accompanied by the songs of wild birds. Sit back for a moment and watch the ballets on the calm waters of the ponds. The grey heron, master of the area, may even grace you with its presence!
So, what could be better than a stroll to visit and discover the Dombes in slow motion?
