Divided into four stages, the Chemins Épicuriens offer a multi-faceted itinerary, inviting visitors to extend their stay and enjoy the region’s tourist attractions, events and leisure activities.
A combined offer valid for 1 year.
Offered at the reception desks of the four sites, the combined offer is available in both French and English versions, in the form of a road book.
From the first ticket purchase, visitors benefit from a reduced rate to discover the three other partner sites. The road book is then presented at the ticket office, where it is completed and stamped.
The offer is valid for 12 months from the first ticket purchase.
