Around fifteen people participated in a night walk in the Green Belt of Échirolles on October 10th, guided by Marion Trébos from France Nature Environnement Isère, to discover wildlife and the starry sky.

On the occasion of Night Day, about fifteen participants gathered on Saturday, October 10th, at Parc Robert-Buisson. This national event, organized by the City, featured a nocturnal excursion into the woods of the Green Belt to learn more about the bats, salamanders, and other toads that inhabit the area.
Led by Marion Trébos from France Nature Environnement Isère, the evening hikers were able to listen to and observe the nocturnal biodiversity. They also rediscovered and admired the starry sky, often hidden by light pollution, but clearly visible that Saturday as the public lighting was turned off throughout the city for the event.
