Traveler reviews
DaniĂšle Arnaud
â â â â â a year agoQuelle chance quâon a dâhabiter Ă Bordeaux et aux alentours ! Le bois de Bouscat est trĂšs beau et serein et prĂšs de lâhippodrome, pour ceux qui aiment les courses de chevaux, en espĂ©rant quâils ne tombent pas en courant si vite⊠Toujours aussi formidable de savoir que la Gironde a bien de la chance dâavoir de si beaux parcs et forĂȘts. La nature dans toute son excellence.

â â â â â 7 months agoVisite nocturne du bois, dans le cadre de L'hiver enchantĂ©, mise en lumiĂšre artistique. Promenade singuliĂšre et enchanteresse, dans le froid du 1er janvier, dans le sous bois obscur, avec juste l'Ă©clairage localisĂ© des oeuvres d'art. Autre singularitĂ©: l'Ă©vĂ©nement n'est pas du tout signalĂ© Ă l'entrĂ©e du bois, qui est censĂ© ĂȘtre fermĂ© Ă 17h, donc il y a quand mĂȘme une hĂ©sitation Ă entrer, car on ne voit pas le parcours lumineux depuis l'entrĂ©e du bois. Et pas un humain qui rode. Y a t'il vraiment un Ă©vĂšnement, ne va t on pas se faire enfermer dans le parc? Bref nous sommes entrĂ©s et il aurait Ă©tĂ© dommage de rater. cela.
