The Dombes and Its Reflections

Welcome to the Dombes region! This vast, rolling green space, nestled among the ponds, marks the starting point of your day of exploration. This is where the team gathers, gets its bearings on the territory map, and mentally prepares for the adventure ahead.

The Parc des Oiseaux is home to hundreds of species from all four corners of the world, in vast aviaries where you can observe them freely or up close. Between pink flamingos, colorful parrots, and impressive birds of prey, every path holds its share of surprising encounters.

Perched atop its hill, the town of Pérouges reveals its cobbled lanes, half-timbered houses, and its Liberty Tree planted on the central square. Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, it has preserved all of its medieval character and seems frozen in time. Walking through its narrow passageways, the family travels back through centuries of history with every step.

The Dombes region has thousands of ponds, shaped by human hands over the centuries for fish farming, and this one offers a peaceful view over the reed beds and the sky's reflections in the water. It's the ideal spot to discreetly observe aquatic life and the birds that come to feed here at the end of the day. A nature break that gently closes out the adventure, amid silence and golden landscapes.
