The Vias Promenade

At the end of this country lane is the former château de Marneffe, now a prison. You’ll then head along the Taille Gueule wood, a veritable haven for birds. In fact, it’s not impossible that you’ll hear the song of a titmouse or the drumming of a great spotted woodpecker’s beak on a trunk.

Passing through some pretty streets in the village of Huccorgne and along a wooded path to reach the main road. Don’t worry, it’s the story of a few meters, just before heading back up towards the Bois Brûlé. I hope you’ll be lucky enough, like us, to spot a deer in this little wood! It’s always a pleasure to be able to discreetly surprise an animal in its natural habitat. Walk along it before crossing a small bridge over the Mehaigne to reach the Ravel. This is a magnificent section, if you have the chance to come back on foot or by bike. Before you set off, don’t forget to take a break on the little terrace above the water (next to the playground). I was lucky enough to observe a beaver in the middle of the day. An explanatory panel will tell you more about the river’s fish.

One thing’s for sure, this Promenade des Vias really convinced me of the rich flora and fauna of the Burdinale-Mehaigne Nature Park.
