The Old Bridge of Balizy, or the Templar Bridge, spans the Rouillon. Hidden in the heart of the Templar Woods, and surrounded by magnificent forest paths, it is a superb place for a mountain bike ride.

It's a technical and driving pleasure, in X-Country or enduro (even if there is almost no difference in altitude).

I am unable to judge whether this bridge is actually connected to the Knights Templar Order, as described in the highlight title (the exact name would be “Poor Knighthood of Christ and the Solomonic Temple in Jerusalem”). In this case it would have to go back to the 12th or 13th century.

Superb alley of giant sequoias, quite unlikely in Ile-de-France.

The construction style suggests that the bridge post-dates the Templars, but it is quite old. The bridge is said to be part of the pilgrim road from Paris to Santiago de Compostela, which would explain the interest of the Templars, responsible for pilgrimage routes, in the road. Fun sunlight effects at the end of autumn days. In October, the bridge is the Centre of a medieval day, a delight of children of all ages. Check the web site of the city of Longjumeau for an exact date.

Superb alley of giant sequoias planted in 1887. It is the 2nd longest alley of sequoias in Europe. With magnificent specimens over 4 m in diameter. Even if some wither due to parasites and lack of water.

Very nice path, quiet. Maybe a little complicated on a road tyre, but for all roads it's rolling

Small, clean, super bucolic tarmac path
