Formerly a chestnut-drying shed belonging to the Maison du Parc, this site now hosts a 7-minute sound experience called ‘A Clède in the Night’, offering visitors the chance to discover nocturnal life and the challenges involved in preserving darkness for wildlife.
Voices, birdsong and animal calls invite you to discover the landscapes of the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Nature Park at nightfall and to listen to the life that stirs there.
This immersive experience also offers a better understanding of the effects of artificial lighting on nocturnal wildlife and the importance of preserving areas of total darkness. A sensitive yet educational experience, situated near the ‘Sentier qui pétille’ trail and forming part of the Park’s new discovery trail.
