Looking at the sentence: "Nous nous promenons dans les bois." Is it also correct to say: "Nous nous promenons aux bois?"

If you want to say that you took a walk in the woods, only dans les bois is correct.

OK, thank you, Chris! And if I wanted to say that we're walking "to the woods," would I use "aux bois?"
