Le Domaine de Coolus

Discovery of the natural heritage, games, sports challenge or a family walk: the Coolus nature reserve opens its doors all year long.

The Coolus nature reserve covers nearly 38 hectares. Made up of woods, meadows and wetlands (la Coole, a river and ponds), it is a paradise for those who take the time to observe. To take full advantage of this reserve, hiking trails and permanent orientation courses have been set up. It is convenient to walk alone or to organize races.

The educational space was created to awaken children to discover the richness of their environment. The pond, the educational garden, the dry stone walls, the preservation orchard and hives serve as a support for environmental education projects.

This nature reserve is home to a fauna and flora of high value with a hundred species of birds that are discovered throughout the ornithological journey. The senses are awakened to recognize robins, blue tit, finches, chardonnets or great spotted woodpeckers.

Twelve listening points were set up near the nesting boxes. A pair of binoculars is strongly recommended during this immersion that can be done with the League of Birds Protection. Regularly, the association organizes nocturnal outings, in the footsteps of quilts and bats.

For geocaching fans, 12 geocaching caches have been placed at the Domaine de Coolus. A great activity to do with the family! If you wish to go to the Coolus nature reserve by bike or on foot from Châlons, you can download the brochure of the path of the domain of Coolus (13km A/R).
