Largelycomposed of natural wooded areas (110ha on the commune’s 693) the forest descending towards city heart is hence in keeping with these territorial orientations. The strong ideas of the project are to create an interconnection of the “Tégéval” and the “câble A téléval” to RER A preparing a green way and to descent the forest massif in the historic center, passing by the green lane. This wooded path will enable to take the visitor along the alive work composed of natural elements such as water and vegetation. The blue frame composing by water is one of the components of the site permitting to constitute a playful patrimony and animating nature in city through the creation of water paths or fountains where water will be captured for a moment and be back to its natural network. As well, the ambition is to establish a life area equipped with facilities creating meetings and interactions at the meeting point between city and forest.
