photo break for the cycling group.

Small plateau between Chapcueil and Soisy-sur-Ecole, with a water point. Many rocks around with the presence of some climbing spots.

Standing in the heart of the Gâtinais, the Courances estate extends over 75 hectares and includes a magnificent 17th century castle as well as its park and vegetable garden. Closed during the winter, it opens its doors the rest of the year for fun visits. If you're not pressed for time, don't hesitate to drop by.

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

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.

The alley of the sequoias of Mennecy was planted in the park of Villeroy in 1887 at the request of the Darblay family, owner of the place. It is the second longest alley in Europe: it is 800 meters long and has 134 trees (an English alley has 219 redwoods). The average circumference is about 4 meters.
