周辺の天然記念物・トップ11

Hello, thank you, Jonathan, for this information. Bicycles are prohibited in the Vallée aux Loups departmental estate; however, the estate and the Maison de Chateaubriand have become Accueil Vélo (Cycle-Friendly). What is the "Accueil Vélo" label? Accueil Vélo is a national label that guarantees a welcome and services adapted to cyclists within 5 km of the Véloscénie (Paris/Mont-Saint-Michel). You benefit from: easy and secure access to park your bike (rings are available at the entrance to the arboretum and at the Maison de Chateaubriand), a water point available, useful equipment such as a bicycle pump, tourist information nearby, and a team sensitive to your needs as a cyclist!

Dedicated to botany since its creation in the 18th century, the Arboretum is home to nearly 500 species of trees and shrubs over an area of 12.7 hectares. It was initially designed as an English garden in 1890. The century-old trees constitute a unique landscape and horticultural heritage, the most exceptional of which is the weeping blue cedar with a 680 m² surface area of branches.

In the Grosbois regional forest, a majestic oak tree stands proudly among the heather, well marked by an explanatory sign. This century-old oak tree, nestled in the heart of the forest, is a true natural monument and shows the richness and biodiversity of this wooded area. This site is accessible via a hiking trail.

Built in the middle of the 19th century, the castle is located in a vast park. There is the museum of the Domaine Départemental de Sceaux. Created in 1973, it offers collections in its four main sites: the castle, the orangery, its gardens and the old renovated stables.

Beautiful view of the park and the Château de Sceaux

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.

Its originality and beauty!

From here, there is a superb view of the Château de Sceaux, located at the end of the alley in the park. You can stroll through the gardens or visit the castle (entrance is charged).
