Au plus fort du printemps, c’est le patrimoine des rosiers sauvages, délicats ancêtres des belles roses de nos jardins, qui vous invite à sa floraison. Cette collection unique de Rosa au cœur des Alpes-Maritimes nous a valu le prix Henry Ford pour la France et l’environnement.

A pretext to come and observe the birds around the bird cascatelles and its observation post, while following a unique ornithological route in search of the Golden Eagle, the Circaète Jean-le-blanc, we find there, the Common buzzard, the grey flycatcher, the crossbills that come to drink at the fountain, the black woodpecker, the mad sparrow, the kestrel, but also the smallest of our birds: the triple-banded kinglet. The day will be hosted by two renowned ornithologists from the Roure Arboretum Scientific Committee: Martine and Michel Belaud. Ce sera aussi l’occasion de vous émerveiller devant les sculptures d’oiseaux grandeur nature créées par Michel Belaud qui ponctuent les arbres de nos sentiers. Des ouvrages et binoculaires seront mis à votre disposition. Dédicace du livret “Biodiversité” par Michel Belaud.((Download the faunal inventory))

No-made is the meeting between artists of different sensitivities and cultures: Japan, Italy, Burkina Faso, England, Germany, France... It is a collective of artists with fluctuating borders who come together around projects that make sense and in which their know-how is freely expressed. The nomadic spirit is characterised by its privileged relationship with Nature with the works entrusted to it, so that it re-sculpts them with the wind, the rain, the snow, the hail, the sun...

Every year in autumn, deer in the forests of the Tinée Valley “sing”. This period marks the beginning of the rut of adult individuals. The slab is as much a cry of love intended to attract females as a warning to mark their territory vis-à-vis other males. While all year round the deer is discreet and it is very difficult to observe with binoculars, it is given to nature lovers to observe it for a good month. From dawn to dusk, you will, like the deer, only have to follow its call. Perhaps you will have the chance to attend the unique spectacle of the meeting of two males competing for a harem of deer! Meet in the early morning in the forest of Rougios to attend these strange weddings.

Venez découvrir les arbres des montagnes du monde parés de leurs habits d’automne, en passant du jaune or des cissilifolium à la remarquable couleur cramoisie, écarlate et orangée de l’érable japonicum ; le rubrum reconnaissable par sa belle robe rouge cardinalesque ; le cappadocicum rubrum aux feuilles rouge profond. En chemin vous pourrez admirer la parure du mélèze : arbre de lumière, il est le seul conifère d’Europe à perdre ses aiguilles qui jaunissent en automne et se répandent au sol en tapis d’or, le tout s’harmonisant avec la couleur lie-de-vin de la terre (cette coloration violette de la terre est due à la présence de fer dans ces sédiments datant de 260 millions d’années). Respirez l’air frais de la montagne, appréciez les couleurs automnales et baissez-vous pour ramasser les présents que vous offre la nature : pommes de pin, feuilles mortes aux multiples formes et aux mille teintes, lichens bleutés… Ils feront de belles décorations de Noël!
