Would I do it again?
I'd do it again“I'd do it again every spring: it costs almost nothing, it's by train, and it teaches respect for the river better than a thousand posters.”

What worked
- The park guide showed beaver tracks and herons: the children "read" the forest
- With the train the journey is part of the game: count the stations, watch the river
- Six euros per student: the cheapest trip and one of the best loved
What went wrong
- The trail gets muddy after rain: proper shoes and spare clothes are needed
- May mosquitoes are plentiful: repellent is mandatory
- The station is a 20-minute walk: gauge your class's energy
Tips
- Contact the park educators: the education service is free and excellent
- Give every child an observation sheet: it turns the walk into an investigation
- Long trousers and repellent: the floodplains are mosquito country
