Great route for gliding along the dike

This is where the de Gaulles are buried. Charles de Gaulle's grave lies between the large memorial/museum and the La Boisserie residence, so it's easily accessible on the way from one to the other.

Unfortunately, the path was blocked by a barrier at this point. A bike wouldn't fit next to it. Perhaps we were there at the wrong time, but we had to take the bumpy path back to the intersection. From there, the path is well-maintained and it's a straight line—you can't go wrong.

As idyllic as the 'Etang de Frouasse' appears to the viewer today, the body of water is by no means of natural origin. Its construction was driven by economic interests at the time, as the builders (according to 'Paul_C''s contribution, the Knights Templar, whose exact name was "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem") could use such a pond either for fish farming or to power mills.

This church is characterized by its Gothic architecture. Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it is distinguished by its impressive statuary and remarkable stained glass windows. Its most famous treasure is the 16th century entombment, a masterpiece of religious sculpture.

The 50-metre footbridge passes over the Seine reservoir supply channel, allowing cyclists to continue along the lakes cycle route.

The shaded rest area of Petit Orient, located on the edge of the Forêt d'Orient lake, is a true haven of peace. Surrounded by tall trees, this relaxation area offers a soothing view of the calm waters of the lake and the surrounding nature. Perfect for a break after a bike ride, this place invites contemplation and serenity. The aquatic birds, typical of the nature reserve, add a touch of wild beauty to the place.

As you cycle along the perimeter of the lake, you will be greeted by expansive views of the lake waters bordered by dense forests. This area is part of the Forêt d'Orient Regional Natural Park, where you will find well-maintained trails that will take you through quiet forests and charming lakeside villages.
