Country-specific rules
Article L.312-2 of the French Sports Code requires every owner of a sports facility to declare it to the authorities so it can be recorded. Trails declared this way appear in the official Data ES database, which Oukonjou's map uses in France.
Good to know
- Start with a few minutes of walking or easy jogging before the first station.
- Before each exercise, check the equipment is steady, with no rotten wood or loose metal parts.
- Say hello and make way: a fitness trail is often a narrow path shared with walkers.
