With, among other things, its deep forests full of game, the Ardennes department is a true natural sanctuary. One of the masters of these places is undoubtedly the deer which at this beginning of autumn gives voice. It's up to you to witness and above all to hear these astonishing and rare moments when males call and seek to fertilize females in order to perpetuate the survival of the species.
