The Experience
Follow the estate's original forestry paths through over 30 hectares of mature woodland — oak, chestnut, and beech trees shade trails that open onto two cascading ponds fed by a stream crossing the walled park. Your guide shares the ecological story of the land: medieval fish farming in the ponds, 19th-century replanting, and today's gentle rewilding. At dawn, the ponds belong to herons and kingfishers; at dusk, golden light streams through the great trees lining the estate's vast allées. Complimentary for all guests — this is your backyard.
