Dogs

You're responsible for your dog. Before you let it off the lead, read the signs at the entrance, look out for livestock and roads, and make sure it will come back when called.
Watch out for
- Now: It's hunting season (September to February). Driven shoots (battues) take place in woods and fields: look for "Chasse en cours" signs, keep your dog close, and a hi-vis vest helps.
- From 15 April to 30 June, French law says dogs in woods and forests must be on a lead whenever they're off the main forest tracks.
