The Ferme de la Planche in Gouvy: a family walk to reconnect with nature, barefoot
A family outing designed to rediscover the simplest sensations
Cœur Historique is organising a visit to the Ferme de la Planche, in Gouvy: a family walk along a barefoot trail, with three difficulty levels so that everyone, young or old, can find their own pace. An educational route that invites you to rediscover sensations we too often forget: earth underfoot, the coolness of a small stream, the texture of straw or sand.
1. Three difficulty levels, for the whole family
The trail comes in three variants, each identified by a colour: green foot for a gentle first approach, yellow foot for an intermediate route, and orange foot for those who want to go further. This setup lets a family group stay together while leaving everyone free to choose their own challenge, with nobody left out.
2. A sensory trail, right on the natural materials
What sets this trail apart is the direct, deliberate contact with the ground: walking barefoot on earth, on stone, through straw, through sand, then cooling off in a small stream. Each section engages the soles of the feet differently, and reminds us how simple contact with the ground can become a whole experience in itself once you take the time to stop and notice it.
3. Reconnecting with the living world, one step at a time
Away from screens and the usual pace of life, this walk is a chance to slow down together, as a family. It reflects a belief Cœur Historique holds every day: wellbeing also comes through simple, shared moments, where we rediscover sensations that everyday life leaves little room to express.
