Small Bridge of the Sainte-Catherine Arm

Highlight • Bridge

The Arm of the Chapter is an arm of the Marne which surrounds the islands of Brise-Pain and Sainte-Catherine in Créteil. This arm is crossed by the small Chapter dam which you can observe on the Ile de Brise Pain. This work limits siltation of the arm thanks to water releases allowing its self-cleaning.
A delicious walk along the allotment gardens runs along the Chapter arm. You can observe mallards, swans and moorhens there.

Lake Gravelle

Highlight • Lake

Located to the south-east of the Bois de Vincennes, Lac de Gravelle is the smallest of the four local lakes. Its area revolves 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 Pont d'Austerlitz. This preserved natural site is in fact quite artificial. But no less charming!

Laurent Fignon Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Steep slope of 500m at 3% to go up from the banks of the Marne to the Bois de Vincennes. The opportunity to tear off a little. Pedestrians & bikes only. Not bad for fractional hill climbing.

Bras du Chapitre (Marne)

Highlight • River

The Chapter arm surrounds the islands of Sainte-Catherine and Brise-Pain in Créteil. You can also observe the small Chapter dam which helps limit the siltation of the arm. The idyllic setting is particularly suitable for hiking, with the company of mallards, swans and moorhens. A natural setting on the banks of the Marne!
