PRE DE LEVENS

Description
A large village field in the heart of Levens ideal for running, ball games, bike riding (and learning to bike ride as it is grassy to make falls that little less scary), picnic etc. Its only negative point is that there is no shade so make sure that you go with sun cream and hats when necessary. Not far away from Tourette Levens, it can be combined with a visit to the Castle and Insect and butterfly museums.
