Prairies et bocage d'Ouroux-sur-Saône
The site and its discovery trail, managed by the Conservatoire d'espaces naturels de Bourgogne, is made up of a network of floodplain meadows surrounded by hedges. It is home to many rare and endangered species of flora and fauna, such as the Fritillary and the Loose-flowered Orchid. The best time to observe the plants and birds is from late March to June.

In the Val de Saône, in the commune of Ouroux-sur-Saône, the path leads through flower-filled meadows, frequently flooded during flood periods, and a bocage of pollarded ash and willow trees.
