Despite having lived in two capital cities, Berlin and Paris, when i discovered the natural beauty and charm of the wildlife of Sologne, i fell immeditlely in love with the region. Every weekend  for the past 20 years i have rushed off from Paris to recharge my battery in the country. From here on, i will have the opportunity to prolong my stay there and i look forward to sharing with you the discovery of old, typica local villages whose churches and houses are classified historical monuments. The region of Sologne abounds in lakes, swamps, ponds and woods which we will have the opportunity to discover on our way to visit small, local farm producers.
