But know what you can sometimes find on such a walk. Because it is - not only - the specimen equipped with legs that occur in nature and that you can encounter on a walk through French nature. And don't forget: the French nature is very different in terms of fauna composition than what we are used to in the Netherlands and Belgium. In the French forests there are several animals that we will not encounter in the Benelux.
