Let's not forget

  • to leave with a phone which battery is 100% charged
  • to take away the guidebook and/or the IGN map, I'm well-accompanied
  • to share your itinerary with a loved one when hiking alone
  • to consult the weather forecasts

Nature is a shared space!

We are not alone in frequenting nature, we share space with foresters, farmers and those who practice other sporting activities. So we park in the car parks and we take care not to obstruct the movement of other vehicles (especially tractors and forestry machinery).

And why not consider carpooling or public transport?

During my hike

Fanny Lebagousse

Respect nature, to photograph rather than pick and let others enjoy it.

Fanny Lebagousse

Bring back your waste (even organic) nature doesn't digest them well!

Et no fires : they destroy the ground for thousands of years!

Fanny Lebagousse

Stay discreetWild animals live here.

In nature we are always on the property of others so respect plantations, do not trample the hay meadows which will be used to feed the cattle in winter!

Fanny Lebagousse

For my safety and that of the herds, please carefully close the fences and gates after I have passed through.

Do not disturb domestic animals or herds and keep your dog on a leash.

Stay on the path, without taking shortcuts to avoid trampling species and erosion.

Know and respect the trail markings.
