Sporting activities and birdwatching

ORNITHOLOGY

Once the migrants have left, the sedentary birds come to life in winter, much to our delight. An ideal time to learn how to recognize local species, we suggest a birdwatching hike to observe these fascinating animals.

Ornithology: an immersive experience!

I’ve always had a passion for nature, and my scientific and educational background led me to become an environmental educator.

Helping as many people as possible to discover biodiversity, learn to recognize species and understand their behavior and ecology, and dispel preconceived ideas is, for me, essential to protecting the environment.

By providing a better understanding of nature and how it works, fears are dispelled and fascination and respect are instilled.

There’s nothing like immersing yourself in nature outings, which is why I’ve been transmitting my passion for nearly 10 years, and I’d be delighted to take you on a tour of the natural riches that surround us.
