This 200-hectare forest was acquired by Joséphine de Beauharnais in 1800, the first wife of Emperor Napoleon I. The estate extended over a thousand hectares as far as the woods of La Celle-Saint-Cloud. The Empress particularly appreciated this walking area and often took her guests there for horse-drawn carriage rides. Near the Saint-Cucufa pond, she had a sheepfold and a stable built. The latter is still visible and today houses the forest rangers of the National Forestry Office. After Joséphine's death, the estate was divided up and partially deforested. It was her great-nephew, Napoleon III, who saved the forest from fragmentation through exchanges. He bought it in 1856 and incorporated it into his civil list. In 1870 and 1871, the Malmaison State Forest was the site of fierce assaults by Captain de Nisme's artillery against the Prussians entrenched behind the Buzenval wall. In 1871, the forest became state-owned when it became part of state property. Since 1966, it has been managed by the National Forestry Office. It is composed mainly of trees such as chestnut, oak, ash, cherry, sycamore, beech, and birch. You descend to the beautiful pond on the left (be careful, there is a steep descent with many walkers and dogs—usually kept on leashes) where you can admire numerous birds (woodpecker, moorhen, heron, etc.). Access to the pond is via an unpaved path for 100 meters. Access to the Château de la Malmaison and its park in Rueil-Malmaison (bicycle racks in front of the castle entrance): 2 km. You will then join trail no. 4 "From the Empress to the Impressionists." Go back up to the right until you reach the entrance to the woods (the way you came in). On the way up, on the left: you can complete the fitness trail on foot. At the exit of the Bois de St. Cucufa: restaurant and bakery. Head towards the old village of Garches, a steep descent. You can admire the St. Louis Church, the Sidney Bechet Cultural Center, the town hall (restrooms accessible on weekdays), and its park. There are many shops but no bicycle racks.
