Above the Trees: Discovering the Viaduc des Fauvettes

Discover a hidden gem south of Paris: a spectacular former railway viaduct rising above a wooded valley. At the end of autumn, we'll explore beautiful forest trails, enjoy scenic viewpoints over the valley, and pass through charming villages in the surrounding countryside. Along the way, we'll discover this unusual piece of railway history and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the Chevreuse area as the last autumn colours fade and winter approaches.
A lovely escape from the city, combining nature, history and the charm of the French countryside!
