Forest Nights: Brouis Forest

Tour of the former sawmill site, educational outings to experience the living forest with the sounds of plants in the Brouis Forest, a concert featuring poetry and the sounds of plants, followed by an acoustic concert on the banks of the Artuby River

The Artuby Pre-Alps host a thoughtful and immersive program in the heart of a preserved natural area. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore an old sawmill, a testament to the local forestry heritage and traditional craftsmanship. A unique experience centered on the “music of plants” will invite visitors to listen to the natural world in a new way. Two concerts by the water will punctuate these moments, in a natural and soothing atmosphere.
