The long par 5 of hole 13 and the brand new par 6 of 15 (one of the few in France), opened last June, are two highlights of a walk that ends again between the trees.

Which extends over 30 hectares of unspoiled nature, with several hundred animal and plant species. A biodiversity trail is also being developed and should accommodate sheep, donkeys and beehives.
