Tasting: A quality local beer Walk: 30-minute walk guided by the artist in the footsteps of Gérard de Nerval Show : Writer belonging to the romantic current and accursed poet, Gérard de Nerval grew up in Valois, this region located around Compiègne, Senlis and Chantilly. Shortly before his death, in his last collection of short stories, Les Filles du feu, he looks back on the happy memories of his youth, the dreams and disillusions of love, in a story that is both full of charm and tinged with nostalgia. Let yourself be taken to the Etangs de Commelles in Coye-la-forêt, where the Château de la Reine Blanche is located. This haven of peace in the heart of the Chantilly forest is one of the places where Nerval went and which he takes as the setting for his novel, Sylvie. It is seated at the edge of the pond, in peace, that you will hear extracts from the novel.
