Forêt domaniale de Meudon
The Meudon state forest, south-west of Paris, covers former royal hunting grounds between the towns of Meudon, Clamart and Chaville. It is today one of the largest wooded areas near Paris.
It features forest paths, ponds and a few remnants of its past, including old military fortifications scattered through the undergrowth. The forest attracts walkers, runners and cyclists who appreciate its relative calm compared with the surrounding urban density. It's advisable to bring a map of the area, as some paths are poorly marked, and to avoid the busiest weekends.
