Do you want to learn more about the wild plants and mushrooms that live in the Ile-de-France region? Then come on board during the Chemin de la Nature gatherings, for useful walks!

Walking in nature when you live in the Ile-de-France and particularly in Paris, it is not always easy! However, more and more curious people are interested in the treasures hidden in our forests, undergrowth and parks of the region, and they sometimes pick wild plants and mushrooms. But this can be dangerous if you don't know how to tell the difference between edible and poisonous plants! That's why Chemin de la Nature offers fun and useful walks to learn what you can and cannot pick and impress your family.

These wild plants such as wild garlic, nettle or dogwood can be used to garnish your plates, make infusions or even make remedies, if used correctly! Nearly 728 species of plants can be picked on the territory, so there is plenty to go around. Follow Christophe de Hody to the Bois de Vincennes or the Buttes-Chaumont and observe the different species in the field, where he will give you the keys to identify them with certainty.

Don't hesitate to take with you a small notebook to make beautiful herbariums and a cloth bag to collect your plants! Some outings are not free, others require a free participation, depending on the walk! Training courses are also available if you wish to deepen your skills, in the forests of the Paris region.
