Trails
There are many trails to walk around. We followed a 4km, stroller friendly trail (walk on the paved trail around the lake if you’re with a stroller). You can find it in the last pic or download it here.
Fondation Folon
Fondation Folon is also in the domain and is worth a visit. It is a wonderful museum to visit with kids.
