A short passage on a bridge over the Mauldre, very nice!

Beneath our feet, a circuit that carries water to Paris from the Eure-et-Loir region. Inaugurated in 1893, it delivers 80 million liters of drinking water (out of a total of 680 million liters) per day.

You can see bison, Przewalski horses, etc. there.

with children, do it in the opposite direction for fewer climbs

Louis XVI had the forest of Beynes developed for hunting by tracing wide star-shaped paths. This stone table was used as a "debooting" table during hunting with hounds. There are two debooting tables, one small and one large. The large table bears, engraved in the stone, the names of the eight forest roads with their direction; similarly, one can read on the thickness of this round stone the inscription "remade in 1783".

This small table is in the oldest large circle. A large table is located in the new small star. An old table, called the "débotter" table, on which the king sat so that his large hunting boots could be put on, it also served as a snack table and also, and perhaps especially by climbing onto it by a circular bench, as an observatory in the center of a star. The small table of Beynes seems the oldest, it is a large circular block, split in the middle and supported by four terminals. The large table is more ornate with the inscription "remade in 1783", and its top bears the indication of the roads, also serving as an orientation table. This assignment is unique, moreover the inscription "Route d'Auteuil" does not correspond to the star where it is, but to the Grand Rond. It is reasonable to think that the table from Ste Appoline (Plaisir) was brought there first, while the one from Beynes was being remade, then the tablets were reversed, and this is how the large table is in the small star and gives the orientations of the Grand Rond.

At a time when animal traction was mainly used in the countryside to pull teams, carts and plows, it was often necessary to shoe draft animals, not only horses, donkeys and mules, but also oxen and even cows. This was the task assigned to the farrier thanks to a small specific building, the "work" (plural: works).

A place with a very present rural past. Very pleasant to cross.
