    Observatory facing an artificial perch.
    In recent years, many pairs of storks have taken up residence for the winter in Châteauneuf.
    They arrive in January.
    And around July 15th, the little ones, who will be eight to nine weeks old, will regroup and leave for Africa. The adults, who have spent the spring feeding them, will wait until the beginning of August to take off.

      A beautiful hike with a start in a small wooded path from the cemetery then a paved road with little traffic to arrive at the observatory storks and babies in May it is ideal to bring binoculars.

        Lots of tarmac for little quiet road, I do not recommend
