Description

The Chemin des étoiles is a 2.3 km thematic trail in the heart of nature with totems representing the solar system, weather phenomena, local fauna and flora. It is located on the path leading to the observatory of the Lèbe.
With the help of the notebook on sale at the Tourist Office and at the Lèbe Observatory (8 €), find the clues left on the totems, solve the riddles and try to find out where these amazing travellers come from. A fun and educational 5 km round trip, with free access, which will take you to the observatory and its planetarium. Each metre travelled represents one million kilometres and then 2.5 million kilometres from Jupiter. Indeed, the further you get from the sun, the longer the distances between the planets. The accompanying booklet for the trail, designed by the Observatory team, includes 60 pages of riddles, charades and questions, for which you will find the answers on the totems along the trail. This trail is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
