The Roquelaure Forest belongs to a massif spanning some 290 ha. Here, we can observe the usual species we like to find in our woods, such as oaks, beeches and other chestnut trees. Large carpets of fern, buckthorn, or heather, all characteristic of the sand and clay that make up the forest's subsoil are also present. Each edge of the forest opens up new perspectives of the remarkable landscape of the Clarence Valley.

Open : all years  round
