What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Parc de la Deuble as a beautifully preserved natural escape, perfect for peaceful walks and wildlife observation. The 'perch' footbridge and panoramic views are frequently highlighted as unique attractions. While generally well-maintained, some visitors note that accessibility can vary on certain paths.
"Lovely place for walking in the nature which is left quite untached. Convenient parking places."
Dariusz Kolodynski
"Cool"
Manu Leclercq
"This is a very nice place to walk, not very muddy even in wet weather and full of birds of all kinds. The park is divided into several parts allowing visitors to target the type of route they want to take and the type of animals they want to meet (the "perch" route up high for the birds, the "belvedere" for a large observatory on the terrestrial landscape, ...). Very well laid out, clean, family-friendly while being wild, very beautiful panoramas open up to people's eyes and, surprise, at the "perch", you can walk on a high footbridge to be at the height of the trees and observe the birds. Magnificent."
