2 day family hike with a donkey

Set off on an adventure along the most unexpected routes of the Marne en Champagne region in the company of a donkey. This extraordinary hike will take you to some of the most beautiful sites around the Lac du Der and its lakes.

The Lac du Der invites you into the heart of its marvellous landscapes to disconnect from your daily routine. Nestled between oak forests, it offers an exceptional natural setting, ideal for a breath of fresh air. Hiking trails wind between the bird sanctuary, the Champagne bocage and the lake’s dykes, allowing you to discover a picturesque site and its surroundings. Safe and for the most part signposted, these trails are full of surprises and make your nature getaway even more exciting.

A 12 to 15 km walk, depending on your choice, in freedom with a donkey, discovering timber-framed villages and the unspoilt natural areas of the Der lake and ponds, awaits you during your hike with a donkey. This 2-day, 2-night escapade is an unusual experience for two or the whole family.
Don’t forget the equipment you’ll need to venture safely into the forest. You’ll need hiking boots, a hat and a windbreaker or raincoat to protect you from the elements. You can place your personal belongings or children weighing less than 25 kg (extra charge) on your travel companion’s portage pack, supplied with the rental. This way, you’ll be completely at ease throughout your short hike. All the more so as the itineraries are easy and accessible to all levels.
