In centuries past, this vast forest which is over six thousand hectares in size would have once been the hunting estate of the chateau. However, today the forest is a far more peaceful place where the rich and diverse wildlife and plant life are protected by the government agency that oversees the upkeep and preservation of the area. There are a variety of short and long walks through the forest, as well as cycle paths that are signed to help keep you going in the right direction.
