Without even moving from the breakfast table you can spot a surprising number of birds - we have counted over 40 different species in our garden so far.
Birds spotted at La Basse Cour - excluding domestic chickens, ducks and geese.



cyclingCycling and Walking

The Perseigne forest is a magnet to walkers, riders and mountain bikers but due to its immense area you can go for miles and not meet another soul. The forest of Perseigne has some of the best mountain bike trails in France, with clearly marked trails, and there are miles and miles of quiet country lanes to explore. We have two adult mountain bikes available for guests' use (please check the day before for availability) to explore the countryside and forest; we can arrange to hire more if required.

Cycling and walking routes start at our front door - we can provide routes and maps.



MushroomsHunting Mushrooms

Mushrooming is very popular from late summer to mid-winter, with people coming from far afield to gather mushrooms from the forest of Perseigne - ceps, chanterelles, parasols and ink caps are common (and tasty!).
