In the Meudon area, the forest is home to some great walks for all levels, including the one around the ponds.

Hiking in the Paris region? Head for Meudon, in the Hauts-de-Seine department, to discover part of the Meudon forest. The 13-kilometre"Three Ponds" walk starts at Meudon Val Fleury station (RER C) and takes you into the Meudon forest for a few hours.

The itinerary allows you to explore the nuggets of the surrounding area: the Parc Paumier, the Grand Etang de Chalais, the Hangar Y (a former airship hangar transformed into a cultural venue), theEtang de Villebon, as well as theObservatoire d'Astronomie, nestled in the heart of the forest. And don't forget to make a detour, as the terraces of the Meudon Observatory are open to the public all year round, free of charge!

Allow around 3h30 to complete this attractive 13-kilometre hike: along the way, it's up to you to follow (and spot) the mustard-yellow markers painted on stones, trees, posts.... Alternatively, you can refer to thedetailed written itinerary provided by theHauts-de-Seine tourist office.

To show you how. So, shall we go hiking in Meudon soon?
