Walking along the river Orge, take a moment to appreciate the Promenade de l’Orge. It’s a true green lung in the urbanized environment of northern Essonne. This is a popular place for both locals and visitors alike, offering a scenic escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Stroll along the path and notice the carefully crafted landscaping, with rich vegetation that thrives on the banks of the river. You see willows, irises, and reeds, which create a vibrant tapestry of color and life. The Promenade is a haven for birds, with many species nesting around the river. Enjoy the view of one of the area’s most prominent historical landmarks, Château de Lormoy, towering in the distance. Further along the Promenade, you can also see the Basilica de Longpont, the Tour de Monthléry, and the Pont des Belles Fontaines. It’s an adventure for all senses, offering a glimpse into the peaceful natural beauty of the countryside.
