Tips from the Community
A bucolic, clean, well-maintained, and shaded spot, with tables and trash cans for picnicking. It's officially a Paris commune, but it looks nothing like Paris.

There's a signposted and very beautiful circular trail that includes the source of the Seine. Learn more on the official website here: https://www.cotedor-randonnee.com/

Wikipedia reports: "The source of the Seine is located on the plateau of Langres, 25 km north-west of Dijon in the Côte-d'Or department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, 470 m above sea level. A special feature is that the sources of the Seine were the property of the city of Paris from 1864 onwards. An artificial grotto was built a year later to protect the main source and a statue of a nymph was erected to symbolize the river. Paris has since returned the property to the region. Near the source are the remains of a Gallo-Roman temple in which a Dea Sequana (Latin goddess of the Seine) was worshipped. The archaeological finds from this are now in the archaeological department of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon."

Here we find a clearing with a cave and a sculpture around the source of the Seine. The large lawn near the grotto is ideal for playing Frisbee or having a picnic. Wooden tables are also available.

This is where one of France's most famous rivers begins. With its meadows and picnic benches, it is a perfect stopover for your race.

This is where the source of the Seine rises in a stone grotto. Surrounded by a small but very well-kept outdoor area, with hiking trails, benches, statues and information boards.

Sources de la Seine, the Seine sources, that is a small area in which, because of its importance, the city of Paris has exercised property rights for more than 100 years. The signs can still be seen today, even though the capital city enclave was abandoned a few years ago; the city of Paris returned the site to the region. The place is signposted, but you can only find it if you have the geo-coordinates or if you can use the Google Plus code (FPP8 + CQ Source-Seine, France) to get there using a GPS; the street D103 in F-21690 Source-Seine is certainly not helpful. There is no parking space, by the way, you just stand at the roadside and walk over to the park. As rustic as the grotto, with which the spring is roofed, also comes across, it is artificial and was created in 1865 according to plans by the Parisian architect Haussmann. A marble nymph by the sculptor Jouffroy adorns this spring.
