"Looking for a green adventure around Paris where you can breath and listen to birds singing ? This is exactly what you need ! We started the Coulée Verte in Fontenay-les-Roses and ended up at Massy. Great relaxing experience! It’s so well-equipped and so comfortable for all: runners, trekkers and bicycle riders.
Lots of picnic spots , water spots and wc.
Totally recommend!"
