Lake Daumesnil

Highlight • Lake

Lake Daumesnil is an unmissable place in the Bois de Vincennes. A fairly large expanse of water where you can get some fresh air and admire the nature of the Ile-de-France region.

However, it is an artificial lake created during the Second Empire. But it offers a natural break just a few steps from the capital, to the delight of Parisians.

Lake Daumesnil

Highlight • Lake

A large artificial lake in the Bois de Vincennes created during the Second Empire. Today a local recreation area for many Parisians. There's really something going on here, especially on the weekends!

Lake Gravelle

Highlight • Lake

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. Formerly supplied by the Marne, today the water is brought back from the Seine thanks to a hydraulic system provided by the pumping plant of the Austerlitz bridge. This preserved natural site is in fact completely artificial. But no less charming!

Villiers Fountain Brook

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This segment takes place on a small green belt at the western end of Sucy-en-Brie. It's a nice way to avoid the city center to stay green, on your way to the Notre-Dame forest. A shaded and bucolic path where it is good to run!

The marl edges of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, it's pretty you can go around them at least a large eastern part.
However, you have to choose your moment well, there were a lot of people on this Saturday at 11 a.m.
The paths along the marl are prohibited for cycling, so there remains the wide sidewalk (shared by pedestrians, pushchairs, bicycles, etc.) or the small road (which is not very wide shared with cars). ..
It is therefore necessary to choose well are moment, I saw a panel which announces that the motorized vehicles are prohibited on the small road on Sunday, I think that it is thus necessary to privilege this niche to benefit fully from this very pretty framework with bicycle.
PS: I did not add a must-have, there are plenty of them and this one was offered to me by Komoot. However, it is not an essential "mountain bike" it is typed "bike outing"
