The Marly Pumping Station was built at the end of the 17th century to pump water from the Seine and supply the ponds at the Château de Marly and those at the Château de Versailles. This walk, largely through urban areas, passes through a small section of the Marly Forest and then the park of the same name, where the ponds still remain. After a steep descent to the Marly Pumping Station, the route crosses the picturesque Île de la Loge before climbing back up to the heights of Marly-le-Roi.
