Refuge de Grasla, Nature refuge in Les Brouzils, France
Refuge de Grasla is a nature refuge set within dense woodland, featuring walking trails and rest areas throughout the grounds. The site provides several facilities where visitors can spend time outdoors and explore the natural environment.
During the French Revolution, this forested area served as a refuge for people seeking safety from the turmoil of that period. The woodland provided shelter to those fleeing the violence and upheaval of that time.
The refuge functions as an educational center where school groups learn about regional history through interactive workshops and guided activities.
The refuge is accessible by car and offers free parking for all visitors. Those with reduced mobility will find accessibility features throughout the grounds to help them move around comfortably.
The refuge uses storytelling as a learning method, with a character named Benoix guiding visitors through historical discovery games. This playful approach brings the site's past to life and makes it memorable for guests.
