Escapades Branchées

Escapades Branchées is an association founded in 2018 and based in Les Sorinières, Loire-Atlantique, France. Bringing together people passionate about trees and outdoor activities, it helps participants discover wooded environments through hands-on experiences, exploration and shared moments. Its work across the Pays de la Loire region aims to encourage immersion in nature and strengthen connections between people and trees.

The association offers tree-climbing activities, outdoor experiences and courses for children, teenagers and adults. Children’s sessions and school activities are designed to build confidence from age seven, while adult courses introduce participants to tree-climbing techniques and greater independence. Families can enjoy shared climbing sessions, and adults can take part in aerial courses and workshops. Escapades Branchées also organizes perched aperitifs, evening events, team-building activities, nature programming at public festivals, forest stays and nights in the trees. Activities are presented with an emphasis on safety and discovery. Participants can consult the events calendar to find dates and locations, join the association or donate to support its nature-focused projects.
