Le Bois des Rêves (Tour du Lac)

In the heart of Walloon Brabant and its unspoilt countryside, the Bois des Rêves is a place of adventure and learning for young and old alike. It's an ecosystem where nature and man meet in all seasons and in all simplicity.

The playgrounds offer fun for all the family, in complete safety for the children and peace of mind for those accompanying them. The events organised by the Domaine are designed to awaken all the senses and share the common values of conviviality, respect, personal development and the sharing of knowledge.

The signposted footpaths, some of which are accessible to people with reduced mobility, offer plenty of opportunities to let your mind wander or to concentrate on what's really important. Along with the mountain bike track, they are also a great place to have fun as well as train.

You can also enjoy a snack or a drink in these green surroundings.

The site is divided into three sections :
