Explore the exceptional forests of the Grand Est region

Gastronomy, local produce and wine tourism are the hallmarks of the Grand Est region, but did you know that forests cover more than a third of the region, making it one of the most densely wooded areas in France? From the massifs of the Ardennes to the Reims mountains, via the Forêt d'Orient, the Forêts en Champagne national park and the Vosges, these unspoilt areas are teeming with activities. Three of them have even been awarded the Forêt d'Exception label for their management, landscapes and biodiversity. Let us take you on a journey of discovery, for a stay that's 100% nature and well-being!

Discover the forest with the whole family, while having fun!

No, the forest isn't just the place for endless hikes for the little ones!

If you want to explore the forest in a fun way, there are treasure hunts and games for all the family to enjoy! Combining special effects and real terrain, they offer a unique experience as close to nature as you can get. Cross the forest, avoid the traps and solve the riddles that will be suggested to you: wake up the adventurer in you! And for a day full of thrills, head for the adventure parks! From tree climbing to monkey bridges and zip lines, there's something for everyone. Ideal for a day out with the family or friends!
Animal lovers should head to one of the wildlife parks in the Grand Est region, where you can get up close and personal with wild animals!

After so many fun-filled activities with the family, you could do with a little rest... Yes, but in an unusual accommodation! The Grand Est is full of them: caravans, yurts and teepees have invaded its land and, of course, its forests, as have ecolodges, cottages and other tiny houses. And for a stay in the middle of the forest, opt for a tree house!

Our family activities

Our unusual accommodation in the forest

It's possible to combine sport and well-being in the forest

Fed up with the phone and emails? We've spotted the perfect day out for you: hiking and yoga. Yes, it is possible to combine sport, rejuvenation and relaxation! In the heart of the forest, you can discover its surprising treasures while enjoying deep relaxation sessions. And you can even try sylvotherapy! This age-old practice, similar to naturopathy, has both physical and mental benefits. In the forest, stress is said to be reduced, lungs aired and the immune system improved. During a guided walk, you can learn to awaken your senses to nature.

For the more sporty types, there's a trek through the forests of the Vosges. The programme includes a hike to the highest points of the massif, an open-air bivouac and a chance to unwind. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or an amateur, you'll love it here.
