Slipping beneath the city’s skin, a secret waterway whispers tales of old Paris. The Chemin du Ru d’Aulnay, more a memory than a road, beckons us to explore its forgotten path. This unassuming lane in Sceaux, once echoed with the gentle murmur of the Ru d’Aulnay stream. The stream, now largely hidden, began its journey in Châtenay-Malabry, cascading down to meet the Grand Canal in the Parc de Sceaux. The Chemin du Ru d’Aulnay, a quiet street, remembers the stream’s presence. Imagine the scene in the early 1950s. The Ru d’Aulnay flowed freely, alongside its sister streams, the Ru de Châtenay and the Ru des Morteaux. These waterways formed a vital network. They shaped the landscape and provided water for the community. Today, much of the Ru d’Aulnay lies concealed beneath the city. But traces remain. A kilometer-long stretch still sees daylight. It meanders through the Parc de la Vallée-aux-Loups and its arboretum in Châtenay-Malabry. Picture the stream tracing a path along the southern edge of the Vallée aux Loups. It then slips under the Rue Eugène-Sinet. Finally, it continues its subterranean journey alongside the Rue Marc-Sangnier, before disappearing beneath the TGV Atlantique and the Coulée Verte du Sud Parisien. The Chemin du Ru d’Aulnay in Sceaux stands as a quiet tribute to this hidden waterway. It serves as a reminder of the natural world that continues to flow beneath our feet. The very name, Chemin du Ru d’Aulnay, echoes the stream’s presence. It connects us to a time when the city was more intimately entwined with its natural surroundings. So as you stroll along this peaceful lane, listen closely. You might just hear the whispers of the Ru d’Aulnay, a secret stream with stories to tell.
