Étang de Chalais

Highlight • Lake

The Étang de Chalais, nestled near Meudon, offers a serene retreat in a lush green setting. Originally created as a reservoir for the Château de Meudon in the 17th century, this pond has become a picturesque spot for fishing, relaxing and observing nature. Its historical roots date back to the time of Louis XIV and reflect the grandeur of the royal estate.

Viewpoint overlooking Versailles and Viroflay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here we have an incredible panoramic view. On the one hand, you have the city of Versailles, and Viroflay on the other. At an altitude of 180 meters, this spot is a great reward after an effort in running!

Grand Canal

Highlight • River

The tour around the Grand Canal allows you to follow its contours closely, with beautiful views of the Park and the Château. But it is also often very busy with many pedestrians, watch out for collision risks. A good alternative is to take the roads connecting the 4 extremities (a bit of geometry: the shape of the Grand Canal forms a cross, these are the diagonals of the rhombus to be drawn by connecting the vertices). It is much less crowded, and you will find the Grand Canal at each extremity.
