Tant de bienfaits... Dame Nature nous protège et nous offre sa beauté. Eric nous guide et distille son savoir sur les Vosges et sa flore ; et les arbres diffusent leurs phytoncides! Tous nos sens sont en éveil! Le temps s'arrête! Le groupe est porteur, soutenant, bienveillant et drôle (Merci à chacun d'entre eux!). Un enchantement à s'offrir : cela fait un bien fou! (Et en plus, les Bleus ont gagné!)

Super week-end! Eric est un guide parfait! Il est passionné et c'est très intéressant de l'écouter parler des arbres, de la forêt et de ses bienfaits. La rando, en elle-même ne présente pas trop de difficulté, d'autant qu'Eric fait tout pour que le rythme de marche incite à observer et profiter du calme de la forêt.
