サモワ-シュル-セーヌの天然記念物・トップ20

Quite a nice route, with a short stretch of track between the 19th and 22nd km

I do believe this is an excellent website. I stumbled upon it I may revisit once again since I saved as a favorite it. https://www-sunpass.com

The Gros Fouteau road, in the heart of the managed biological reserve of Mont Ussy and Butte aux Aires, offers an immersion in unspoiled nature. This forest path winds through wild and varied landscapes, where century-old trees, such as the majestic Gros Fouteau, stand proudly. Here, you can discover the richness of the local biodiversity, with green clearings and magnificent viewpoints of the surrounding hills.

Sshhht silence and watch

What immediately catches the eye are the water lilies which partly cover this 20 m diameter pond. In March, toads and frogs meet up to lay eggs. The name of this pond comes from the fact that a man named Piat, general forest guard, would have had trouble with people who had to complain about his severity in the service and who would have thrown him into the pond. This forced bath was not fatal to him, since he died at the age of 81, on August 26, 1805, leaving a large family.

The cave of the oath is quite surprising, especially because the vault is made of a single rock. The letters D.F.D were engraved on the cave by Denecourt himself and mean "Last Madness Denecourt".

Here we find the famous rocky rocks of the French Gâtinais regional natural park. Climbing is practiced there but this place is also an ideal setting for hiking. Let yourself be disoriented by the unusual character of the site.

The Béatrix cave is a natural wonder hidden in the forest of Fontainebleau. This cave, dug in the sandstone, is accessible during an outing in the forest. It offers an enchanting spectacle with its stalactites, its concretions and its walls covered with moss. It is also known to have been the place of meditation of Queen Marie-Antoinette.
