An informative trail on the history and nature of Île Saint-Pierre.
Île Saint-Pierre and its Chemin des Païens are a nature reserve and a protected area for waterfowl and migratory birds of national importance. As well as its diverse natural environment, the region also boasts a rich cultural history.

This themed trail is accessible all year round, available in German and French equipped with tactile QRs and accessible to people with reduced mobility, aimed at a wide audience, from the age of 6.
