Rendezvous Nature. Discovering the beaver and the birds of Durance

When the sun sets, nature reveals a completely different face. Some species, which are discreet during the day, then begin to come out and be active.

This Nature Rendezvous offers an immersion in the natural environments of Durance, to discover the beaver, the largest rodent in the Northern Hemisphere, and the birds that inhabit these areas.

A sensitive and accessible outing, to observe, understand and marvel at the wildlife that comes alive at nightfall.
