Ponds of Parc des Côtes Montbron
Highlight • Lake
Located in the town of Jouy-en-Josas, the Parc des Côtes Montbron, acquired by the Department for sensitive natural areas, has been open to the public since April 2011. Hikers and nature lovers can enjoy a break idyllic in the heart of this exceptional site.
It was part of the estate of the Château du Parc des Côtes Montbron, which became a center for infantile cardiology in 1952, belonging to the Mallet family, who had the château built between 1872 and 1875. This hidden valley reveals its stream, the Ru Saint, to the walker. Marc, and its three ponds bordered by meadows and woods. This mosaic of natural environments gives it great ecological wealth. It also offers a bucolic setting allowing a total change of scenery, while being located a few kilometers from Paris. It is also accessible by public transport (Petit Jouy station served by line C of the RER).
The Department has created three new entrances, providing access to 2.5 km of trails through the site. The CODERANDO des Yvelines has put in place the markings for the GR® of the Ile de France region which crosses the site. This route is decorated with information panels on the themes of the landscape, flora and aquatic environments.
