The Image Oak

Highlight • Other

It is a pedunculate oak, 23.8 meters high with a circumference of 1.7 m at 1.30 m from the ground. His age is unknown.
According to a tradition dating from ancient times, it was customary to honor trees by hanging pieces of cloth and necklaces from their branches. The Gauls attributed to them a divine character. To destroy this idolatry, as early as the 8th century the church sanctified some of them by giving them the name of a Saint and by installing relics or religious objects there, such as the small statue that had been slipped into a cavity of this oak in the forest of Halatte near Fleurines.
Every year, still today, this oak is the subject of a pilgrimage that leaves the church of Fleurines to go to the foot of this tree where a mass is celebrated.

Mont Pagnotte

Highlight • Summit

Mont Pagnotte is the highest point in Valois and one of the highest in the Paris region, with an altitude of 222 meters. It was also an ancient Celtic and Gallo-Roman colony, of which you can still see some ruins along the way. The trail passes through the magnificent Halatte forest, where you can appreciate the diversity of trees and wildlife. From the summit of Mont Pagnotte, you can admire a panoramic view of the forest and the surrounding countryside. It's the perfect place for a run to escape the city.

King of Rome Obelisk

Highlight • Other

This obelisk was built in 1811 to commemorate the birth of the son of Napoleon I and Marie-Louise of Austria, made king of Rome by his father to challenge Pope Pius VII. Why here and by whom? We don't know. This tribute was perhaps paid to Napoleon for the revival of a healthy management of the forest of Halatte after a period of abandonment following the revolution of 1789. In any case, he met his future wife Marie-Louise d ' Austria, nearby, at the Château de Compiègne where he installed his son the King of Rome.

Next to this obelisk, there is a bust of a woman carved in the rock!

Mont Alta Pond

Highlight • Lake

A pond in the middle of the forest when you don't necessarily expect it. The path along it is obviously a bit muddy :)

May 30, 2025,Forêts de Chantilly et d'Halatte - Mont Pagnotte

Very smooth, the ground is very dry at the moment, apart from a few large mud puddles in the Halatte forest. It can be done on gravel. On a hot day like today (29°C), we were well sheltered from the heat under the trees, which was very welcome. We had a chance encounter with a beautiful red fox before arriving …
