Here you will find showers, deckchairs, a barbecue, a table tennis table and a mini fitness trail to relax your body and mind. Not forgetting an educational trail built around a pond to highlight the local flora and fauna, for a pleasant walk in the middle of nature... just a few metres from the A1!
