Intellectual property

The texts, page layouts, graphics, logo and database of this site are protected by copyright and database law. Any reproduction or reuse beyond what the law allows requires the publisher’s prior written consent.

Photographs of places are real photographs. Most come from Wikimedia Commons under free licences that allow commercial use (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC0, public domain); a few come from the press kits of the places themselves and remain the property of their owners. Each photo carries its author and licence, and the full list, with a link to the source page of every photo, is in the “Photo credits” section below. No image of a real place on this site is generated by artificial intelligence.

Maps use data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL), with map tiles from OpenFreeMap and OpenMapTiles. Facts about each place come from the sources listed at the bottom of its page, first among them the body that manages it.

Links and affiliation

The site links to external websites: park authorities, site managers, tourist offices and booking platforms. Some booking links are affiliate links: if you book through them, the site may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never decide which places we cover nor what we write about them. Details are on our transparency page.

Limitation of liability

Rules, prices, opening dates and access conditions are checked against the manager’s own sources and dated, but they can change after our last check: a trail can close, a quota can appear, a cave can shut for the season. This information is given for guidance only. The publisher cannot guarantee that it is accurate or complete and is not liable for the use made of it.

Hiking, caving, swimming and other outdoor activities carry risks. Conditions on site, the weather and the instructions of the site manager always come first. Before you set off, check the official website of the place.

Parks and Wonders is an independent guide. It is not affiliated with any park authority, reserve, site manager or tourist office it describes.

Personal data

How we collect and process personal data is explained in our privacy policy.

Governing law

This legal notice is governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, and after an attempt to settle it amicably, the French courts have sole jurisdiction.
