Right through these woods, thanks a recently-recovered network of paths (roughly 20 km), one can easily enjoy pleasant strolls, hikes and biking deep in the nature.

The remaining surface is covered in gardens (roughly 1.1 ha counting the surfaces covered by the buildings and their courtyards) and arable land (1.6 ha) dotted by vegetable gardens and fruit trees. Bees in the estate also produce excellent honey: next to the common polifloral honey, they also produce Acacia honey and Chestnut honey.
