"Beautiful walks to enjoy both on foot and by bike. Many marked trails. Ruins, springs, ponds, and remarkable trees, some of which are over 300 years old, are all there. A hiking map is located next to the Maison Forestière du Magasin. Picnic tables are located nearby."

"It's impossible to walk around peacefully. My girlfriend and I were followed by a pervert and then accosted several times. The woods are populated by gays and exhibitionists. Dangerous and unsavory, run away. Unfortunately, like many woods."

"Unfortunately, the Hez forest is no longer what it used to be... The ONF is selling all the plots for firewood. Absurd."
