The Latona basin results from the desire of Louis XIV to create, in the center of his Garden, a fountain which recounts the childhood of Apollo, the sun god he chose as his emblem. To create this fountain, Louis XIV transformed a pool dug by Louis XIII by gradually installing water features and decorations sculpted by the Marsy brothers. The Latona basin went through several states before adopting its current form. In 1667, it was the Toad Fountain. From 1668 to 1670, a first Latona basin appeared; Latona is then at the same level as the other figures and turned towards the Castle. From 1687 to 1689, Jules Hardouin-Mansart created the current pool, by making Latona turn around and hoisting her to the top of a marble pyramid. http://latone.chateauversailles.fr/page/le-bassin-de-latone/histoire-du-bassin

The Troche quarry is today located in the very heart of the Eugène Chanlon Municipal Park, in Orsay-Palaiseau, in the Lozère (Palaiseau) district. This is an old sandstone quarry, traces of which can be found on the edge of the Saclay plateau, where a whole plateau of industries is currently located. All that remains of the quarry today is the working face, 5 meters high and approximately 200 meters long. Today it is only used by rock climbing enthusiasts. In the lower part, approximately in the center, you can see a Romanesque window... but it actually only dates from 2004! A little history The exploitation of this quarry has been documented since 1720. It was mentioned in Napoleon's land registers in 1809. At the end of the 19th century, the quarry was owned by the Pigeon family, and employed 25 to 30 workers. Work was interrupted at harvest time because the quarrymen, very often, were also agricultural workers. "The production was intended for Paris, brought down twice a day to Lozère station from 1867 by carts pulled by 3 horses, loaded with 120 paving stones (around 2 tonnes), and transferred to wagons using an additional track for goods (1891).” “Before the railway, it took two days round trip for a cart to reach Paris” The quarry closed its doors in 1937, and today it is more than a souvenir that can be discovered inside Eugène Chanlon Park. The stone extracted from this quarry is sandstone. These so-called Fontainebleau sandstone and sand banks were formed in the Quaternary era (Stampian period) around 30 million years ago.

The natural treasures of the Parc des Côtes Montbron: Located in the town of Jouy-en-Josas, the Parc des Côtes Montbron, acquired by the Department for sensitive natural areas, has been open to the public since April 2011. Hikers and nature lovers can enjoy a break idyllic in the heart of this exceptional site. It was part of the estate of the Château du Parc des Côtes Montbron, which became a center for infantile cardiology in 1952, belonging to the Mallet family, who had the château built between 1872 and 1875. This hidden valley reveals its stream, the Ru Saint, to the walker. Marc, and its three ponds bordered by meadows and woods. This mosaic of natural environments gives it great ecological wealth. It also offers a bucolic setting allowing a total change of scenery, while being located a few kilometers from Paris. It is also accessible by public transport (Petit Jouy station served by line C of the RER). The Department has created three new entrances, providing access to 2.5 km of trails through the site. The CODERANDO des Yvelines has put in place the markings for the GR® of the Ile de France region which crosses the site. This route is decorated with information panels on the themes of the landscape, flora and aquatic environments. (https://www.yvelines-infos.fr)
