In the Grosbois regional forest, a majestic oak tree stands proudly among the heather, well marked by an explanatory sign.

Located to the south-east of the Bois de Vincennes, Lac de Gravelle is the smallest of the four lakes in the area. Its area is around one hectare.

This preserved natural site is in fact completely artificial. But no less charming!

Died in 2003, this oak has been present in the park since the reign of Henry IV, approximately 400 years. This giant has a total height of 29 m. Its circumference at 1 m 30 from the ground is 6 m. Its presence still contributes to the preservation of biodiversity today. Indeed, its trunk and branches offer refuge to several species of animals. (source aev-iledefrance)
