" Tree and Shrub discovery itinerary’ " :

This easy itinerary will enable you, in one kilometre and one hour, to discover the thirty or so trees and shrubs that grow around our commune. Most of them grow there naturally, and some of them, planted by Auroux locals, have managed to thrive although the altitude and climate widely differ from their usual biotope.
You will find green signs with a white number, and also lengths of numbered tape nearby, matching the numbers of the trees given in the leaflet, so you can spot them more easily.

Booklet available for 3 € at the Syndicat d’Initiative in Auroux and at the Tourist Office in Langogne.
