An audio-augmented walk in the Montmorency forest
Nature lovers, come discover the Montmorency forest in a unique way! Set off on an immersive and poetic geo-localized walk of just over an hour listening to the wildlife, flora, and history of the Montmorency forest.
Adjust your headphones and enter La Forêt Augmentée... Do you hear the wind blowing? Let yourself be carried away by the sounds around you…
You will be guided during the walk by sound atmospheres to points of interest that unfold before you. A sound of wind in the branches, and you are in front of a remarkable tree whose story is told to you. Walk in the footsteps of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, cradled by the writer’s texts, who made the Montmorency forest one of his favorite walking places.
Your route around the Château de la Chasse will be punctuated with anecdotes told or performed by actors, excerpts from literary works, poems about the forest, or classical music excerpts. Other points of interest scattered throughout the forest (about 15) — World War I relics, a natural protection area, a spring, remarkable trees — also benefit from a geo-localized sound experience.
This circuit is offered by Plaine Vallée Tourisme and is available on Val d'Oise MyBalade
Author’s recommendation
The audio-augmented route immerses the viewer in the soundtrack of the places crossed.
The walk is an experience: animated by dynamic geolocalized and spatialized sound flows (musical mix, evolving 3D soundscapes, literary spots performed by actors, etc.) that form parts of an immersive kaleidoscope synchronized to the rhythm of the walk, drawing a tension line between the emotion aroused by the sound and the physical experience of the places crossed: the visitor navigates at the edge of the real and the dreamlike.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
