Visits with a nature guide

There are several ways to visit our region with a nature guide:

The “Rendez-vous nature” events organized by the Département du Nord are suitable for all ages. A guide takes you to a natural area in the Nord to teach you about nature. Birdsong, shells, butterflies… a wide range of themes are on offer. These “Nature Rendezvous” are available from April to December, and are totally free – all you need to do is book in advance.
