Unlike all the other trails in Beaulieu-sous-la-Roche, the birdhouse trail is accessible from all the streets in the town centre.
This 5 km trail can be extended by 2 km by following the “variant” signs from the Maché road.

"Bringing the animals to reproduce in the nesting boxes is an exhilarating occupation. This activity makes it possible to improve the quality of life of the various guests and to develop a privileged relationship with those who would like to respond to our invitation.
But our efforts in this area will only be truly successful if we integrate the installation of nesting boxes into a more global reflection (planting of hedges, working in the garden in a biological way, etc.).
As a result of the anarchic development of human activities, the home range of birds is shrinking like a trickle. So don't hesitate to install birdhouses and feeders in your garden. Happiness guaranteed."
