The Bois d'Infière consists primarily of wet woodlands with willows and alders, along with tall herbaceous vegetation, characteristic of clearings and damp edges. The path winds through this marshy forest for over a kilometer along a dense network of wooden walkways.

From the early 1970s, the development of the new town in this area took shape with the construction of the Heron Park and the Heron Lake. The former hunting lodge was converted into a house divided into two rental apartments. In 1973, the building was acquired by the Public Institution for the Development of the New Town of Lille-East. In December 1982, the building, which had suffered damage since the expropriation, was returned to the municipality of Villeneuve d'Ascq. At the end of 1983, the municipality decided to have the building completely restored by the Compagnons du Devoir (a French craft guild) as part of a training program.

This is one of the entrances to the Parc du Héron. It covers 110 hectares, a significant portion of which is occupied by water: the Lac du Héron and the Marque River. Approximately 70% of the area is designated as a nature reserve.

Great spot for slaloming on footbridges and paths with a little relief. Watch out for pedestrians.

As mentioned earlier, it's very smooth and can also be done by hybrid bike. Perfect for a bit of coolness in the summer.
