Circuit des Neuf Mares - Forêt de Meudon

This established trail explores the Forêt de Meudon, the closest large national forest to Paris. The 'Nine Ponds' circuit is famous for its biological diversity and the serene atmosphere provided by its numerous water bodies. Historically, this forest served as royal hunting grounds, and today it offers a dense network of well-marked paths. Hikers can expect to see oak and chestnut trees, as well as various bird species near the ponds. The terrain is relatively gentle but provides a true escape from the urban environment. It is best suited for those looking for a nature retreat without traveling far from the city center. The trailhead is easily accessible via the RER C train station at Meudon-Val-Fleury.
