The Porcheville thermal power plant is a former power plant, its final shutdown having taken place on May 1, 2017. It is located in Porcheville in the Yvelines (France) on the banks of the Seine, about fifty kilometers northwest of Paris. It was operated by EDF. The two chimneys of the plant are 220 meters high to evacuate their fumes well above the 70 m cliff facing the site on the left bank of the Seine.

This gas-fired Edf power station has been closed for several years; however, these two immense chimneys, which I hope will remain as a testimony to a certain era, have the major interest of being visible from dozens of kilometers around and are for me an excellent landmark to locate myself during my bike rides.

This section parallel to the Seine cycle route is not very smooth. The large number of holes are filled with ballast (large stones) from the SNCF tracks. Without suspension it hurts :D
