パレゾーの湖・トップ11

Late afternoon bike ride: Magnificent track and path...in dry weather.

The Carouge basin is the point of convergence of the Orge, Blutin, Salmouille and Boële. The basin was dug in the 1970s to extract materials for road construction, and also to manage the floods of the Orge. Here you can see many species of birds, such as seagulls, cormorants and ringed plovers depending on the season. The path along the basin is safe and flat.

The Saint-Michel-sur-Orge basin is a peaceful place surrounded by greenery, ideal for a walk or a relaxing break in the heart of nature. Located on the edge of the city, this basin offers a pleasant setting with its shaded banks. The paths that surround it allow you to appreciate the tranquility of the place and observe the local fauna, in particular the birds that come to land on the water.

It's hard to believe that you are so close to Paris when you pass through the pretty village of Gometz-le-Châtel. The town stands out in particular for its small ponds typical of Essonne. If you're running through it, slow down to have a look. You may spot the different species of amphibians, birds and mammals that inhabit the grounds.

A small, very pleasant park in Juvisy-sur-Orge with a series of small caves and a lake. It is the vestige of the 50 hectare park of the Lord of Juvisy, Antoine Rossignol des Roches. A peaceful site to stop off in the middle of a hike and regain your strength for the rest.

After having traveled about twenty kilometers along the barley starting from Morsang sur orge, this lake offered us a magnificent landscape, hidden between the trees. It was difficult to leave this place to come back home!

The trail is easy and runs along the La Rémarde river to the L'Orge reservoirs. Nice banks along La Rémarde or on the pools for picnics!

The ideal time to observe is, it seems, in the morning at daybreak! I went in the late afternoon and there were still a lot of birds to see. Signs help to recognize them.
