サン＝ジェルマン＝ド＝ラ＝グランジュの湖・トップ6

Abbecourt Abbey was founded at the end of the 12th century by Gasce V of Poissy and added to the Premonstratensian Order. Several times badly damaged during the Hundred Years' War, it was restored over the centuries, then completely rebuilt in the 18th century. Declared national property following the Revolution, it was sold and then destroyed at the beginning of the 19th century. All that remains above ground is a section of wall, about sixty meters long, which rests on the foundations of the church, the canons' building and the outbuildings.

The Saint-Quentin pond is an oasis of nature and tranquility. With its 120 hectares, it offers varied activities such as hiking, kayaking and bird watching. This site, classified as a nature reserve, is ideal for recharging your batteries!

Lots of swans and little cygnets in May

Grand Étang du Bois de la Kabiline Feed by the Mauldre, a small river of 35 km which has its source between Saint-Rémy-l’Honoré and Coignières before flowing into the Seine. The pretty valley of the Mauldre nestled between the plateaus of the plain of Versailles and the Mantois offers beautiful walks.

Remains of an abbey dating from the 12th century on the edge of the forest and near a small pond of the same name

Outline to do..

Another excellent local surprise, this pond (artificial, but dating from Vauban) was part of the system of channels and aqueduct which directed the waters from the Saclay plateau to the fountains of Versailles...

Here we find a beautiful pond, quite small. You can therefore cross it on a wooden footbridge. This allows you to get closer to the water and feel surrounded by greenery. You will therefore be in the heart of nature! Isn't that the point of a hike, after all?
