周辺の湖・トップ8

Lots of runners. A great place to visit, just a few kilometers from Paris. Line B, Parc de Sceaux or Croix de Berny stop.

The Sceaux estate is an idyllic place for a stroll. From the Grand Canal you can see the castle and the beautiful gardens of the park. Since 2023, it is possible to cross the Grand Canal on the surface of the water thanks to the Gué.

This highest lake in the Bois serves to supply the canals and the Daumesnil and Minimes lakes located further below. It is reserved for fly fishing and we often come across herons there.

Very pretty lake, peaceful in the woods.

Located to the south-east of the Bois de Vincennes, Lac de Gravelle is the smallest of the four lakes in the area. Its area is around one hectare. Formerly supplied by the Marne, today the water is brought back from the Seine thanks to a hydraulic system provided by the pumping plant of the Austerlitz bridge. This preserved natural site is in fact completely artificial. But no less charming!

The Grand Canal in the Domaine de Sceaux is grandiose. It is a fairly large body of water that you can bypass to run near the water. An ideal site to rest after training.

The ponds form part of the landscape of Île-de-France. They are home to a rich biodiversity: birds, unique plant species, amphibians... Unfortunately, the ponds are degrading day after day, which explains the disappearance of dragonflies. But many organizations are trying to preserve these magnificent places!
