The Gros Fouteau road, in the heart of the managed biological reserve of Mont Ussy and Butte aux Aires, offers an immersion in unspoiled nature. This forest path winds through wild and varied landscapes, where century-old trees, such as the majestic Gros Fouteau, stand proudly. Here, you can discover the richness of the local biodiversity, with green clearings and magnificent viewpoints of the surrounding hills.

Sshhht silence and watch

What immediately catches the eye are the water lilies which partly cover this 20 m diameter pond. In March, toads and frogs meet up to lay eggs. The name of this pond comes from the fact that a man named Piat, general forest guard, would have had trouble with people who had to complain about his severity in the service and who would have thrown him into the pond. This forced bath was not fatal to him, since he died at the age of 81, on August 26, 1805, leaving a large family.

Small cave in the woods, with engravings, in homage to Samuel Adam-Salomon - French sculptor of the 19th Century who spent most of his life in Fontainebleau. His works are mainly exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay, the Invalides and the Chateau de Versailles.

Here we find the famous rocky rocks of the French Gâtinais regional natural park. Climbing is practiced there but this place is also an ideal setting for hiking. Let yourself be disoriented by the unusual character of the site.

It is a shelter dug into the rock near the Croix du Calvaire. It is a perfect place to stop and refuel. The setting is impressive!
