Circular route between the Jardy Stud Farm and the Corot Ponds.

Route in the Forêt des Fausses Reposes allowing you to discover the Haras de Jardy and the Étangs de Corot (Ville d'Avray). The forest is a very popular place for walks. It is criss-crossed by marked hiking trails and bridleways. Sports enthusiasts and hikers appreciate this wooded area with its many paths and trails. At its centre is the Haras de Jardy departmental park, the only area of grazing meadows located in the inner suburbs of Paris. The painter Jean Baptiste Camille Corot loved to visit the ponds of Ville d'Avray and left his name to them. The site has been listed since 21 September 1936.
