Follow in the footsteps of animals! Footprints, owl pelts or nibbled pine cones: each clue tells a fascinating story. Accompanied by a guide, let nature reveal its secrets for an unforgettable family adventure.
In the Jardin des Méditerranées, nature seems to hide many secrets. Day and night, animals lurk around us, lurking in the shadows or revealing themselves briefly. Invisible but very present, they leave behind them delicate clues, so many treasures to be discovered by those who know how to open their eyes and pay attention.
Accompanied by a guide, explore the secret world of these animals by following their tracks! Look around you, and let your imagination follow the clues left by the inhabitants of the Jardin des Méditerranées.
Look at these light footprints in the sand: perhaps it's a fox that, last night, stalked the paths in silence, in search of a meal or simply to mark its territory. And here, these larger tracks: a badger has explored the beach, leaving behind the evidence of its passage.
Then look up: an owl must have hovered here last night, scanning the ground for prey. This morning, all that remains is a discretely abandoned ball of hair and bone, ready to reveal its latest feast.
With the first rays of sunshine, the Garden awakens. The maquis rustles with birdsong, and up on a branch, a rodent has dropped a pine cone, marked by the marks of its teeth. On the ground, little twists of earth bear witness to the frenetic activity of the invisible but essential microfauna.
Every detail tells a story. Accompanied by a guide, follow the trails of Domaine du Rayol to discover these hidden tales during the "On the trail of animals in winter" activity. A fascinating family adventure, where the mysteries of the local fauna are revealed to those who know how to observe.
One thing's for sure: after this visit, you'll never look at the Jardin des Méditerranées in the same way again!
