Étang de la Geneste

The Geneste pond offers a peaceful and green setting, perfect for a stroll or a relaxing break. Bordered by forests and paths, this pond is an ideal place for nature lovers, who can observe the local wildlife, especially the birds that come to nest there. The reflections of the trees in the calm water create a serene atmosphere.

Water reservoirs on the Bièvre (river bearing the old name of the beaver), whose level is managed by the SIAVB (Intercommunal Syndicate for the Sanitation of the Bièvre Valley), the ponds of Moulin de Renard, Minière, Geneste, offer a natural reservoir for fauna and flora. Herons, swans, moorhens, mallards, great crested grebes, cormorants, barnacle geese, kingfishers and many other birds populate the banks of these ponds. Wild boars, foxes, roe deer are also present as well as wild rabbits, red squirrels or chipmunk squirrels (striped or Korean). Many flat or sloping paths allow hikers, joggers and cyclists to create their own circuits in this haven of greenery. Definitely worth discovering.
