The Roches d'Orival offer a spectacular spectacle. These white chalk cliffs, sculpted by erosion, overlook the Seine and offer an exceptional panorama of the valley. You will be able to discover the richness of the natural and historical heritage of this site which dates back to the Neolithic era. You will see the traces of a castle built by Richard Coeur de Lion in 1195, troglodyte dwellings from the 17th century, a fortified Roman camp, a Gallo-Roman temple, brick ovens from the 19th century. You will also discover a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna, including orchids, butterflies, praying mantises and green lizards. The hike has a few steep and rocky sections so be prepared for a moderate challenge.
