We love accrobranches, but the one run by Caroline and Stéphane particularly appealed to us for its eco-responsible approach.

So it's in an unspoilt, bucolic setting that you can move from tree to tree in complete safety, with a guaranteed feeling of well-being. You can picnic on site, with local produce at the refreshment bar.
