In the interactive exhibition: a new app for an immersive visual and audio journey!

A new Explor'games adventure trail at the Oignons site in Boz! Free.

The interactive exhibition offers a fun discovery trail that lets you immerse yourself in the region’s natural sites through numerous innovative interactive apps, touchscreen kiosks, interactive games: catch fish from our rivers using the interactive floor, listen to and observe the birds of the Val de Saône floodplain, unravel the mysteries of the Boz peat bog, have fun protecting the sand dunes of Les Charmes, and test your knowledge of the water cycle… For ages 3 and up; activity booklet available for children.

Two Explor’games round out the outdoor offerings. One of these adventure trails lets you solve puzzles while discovering the trees surrounding the structure, and the other challenges you to complete tasks at the natural sand dune site in Sermoyer.

Four natural sites are highlighted within an 8-km radius. The Bresse and Val de Saône region is home to exceptional natural habitats designated in 2014 and 2015 as Sensitive Natural Areas (ESN) within the Ain department. The Maison de l’Eau et de la Nature invites you to explore them through regular and varied activities.
