Former agricultural wasteland, Coulondres-Philippe Eldridge Park extends over 18 hectares to the east of the commune. On this scrubland filled with Mediterranean species, deer, mouflons, sika, and stags have been gradually introduced to clear the site.

Provided that you remain discreet and at a distance, you should be able to spot the herbivores in semi-freedom amidst the century-old green oak forest, around a path, unless it is near the body of water located in the northern part of the park. In this latter place, you will certainly come across other animals such as ducks while admiring the majesty of Pic Saint-Loup.

In this haven of nature, both wild and maintained, light facilities have been made. Some paths are paved, while others are rockier. The botanical trail encourages knowledge of the local vegetation. The wooden animal sculptures delight children. Benches allow for breaks, tables invite sharing of picnics... Awareness workshops about the environment are also offered there... It is up to everyone to discover the park according to their wishes.
