Balades contées en picard invites visitors into the Étang Saint-Ladre reserve through stories shaped by local language and landscape. Led by storyteller Mariel Demaye, the walk blends humour, strange tales and nature observation in a protected site near Boves. Picard is heard here as a living voice rather than a museum object, carried by rhythm, humour and familiar turns of speech. Families and walkers hear regional oral tradition while moving through marsh, paths and natural habitats tied to local memory.
