The Porterie, in a beautiful meadow, bordered by the river, is bordered by 7000 hectares of forest: a paradise for all kinds of animals. They all make themselves heard according to the seasons: during our botanical walk with Alexandra Henrisssat in June, when life explodes everywhere, it’s always a pleasure to listen to birds and identify them, while spotting wild plants.
After the terrible drought of 2022, which showed the bottom of the river without a drop of water, we hope to hear his song, different depending on the depth of the water. And we hope to hear again the fish dives.
When we return to the garden, it’s time to visit our friends the cows: they know us well and give us a sound greeting.
The bull also wants to attract attention: he drums the ground with his hooves in crazy races in the middle of the herd.
Finally, it’s time for the frogs: having not heard them for two years, we will be very attentive to their presence and their number, spottable in the power of their croaking.
In the meantime, the children criss-cross the gravel with the rake to make drawings.
Before leaving, it will be the "cling" of glasses, before tasting syrup and lemonade made from the garden plants. Make vinegar, syrup and lemonade to take home (bring containers).
