Valois Observatory

Highlight • Other

If you're looking for a peaceful and scenic hike, you can visit the Valois Observatory, a birdwatching site located near Lac du Temple in the Forêt d'Orient Regional Natural Park. Located in the heart of the national nature reserve, the observatory offers a unique view of the lake and its protected area. You can access the observatory on foot, after a 2.5 km walk (30 minutes) from the Maison du Parc. The best time to visit the observatory is fall, when the lake recedes and attracts thousands of migratory birds, as well as breeding deer.
