About Bleau : Trois-Pignons State Forest:
|
La Forêt Domaniale des Trois-Pignons is the State Forest located west of the whole area of Bleau. This forest is limited north by Arbonne-la-Forêt, west by Milly-la-Forêt, southwest by Noisy-sur-Ecole and Le Vaudoué, southeast by Achères-la-Forêt and east by the highway A6, though a small northeast corner is on the other side of the highway. Les Trois-Pignons provide us the highest density of boulders in Bleau. But despite the fact these boulders are all in the same area, the variety is present : in the height of the boulders, in the ground falls, in the speed of drying, in the density of trees above... Near Arbonne-la-Forêt are the areas of Le Rocher de la Reine, Drei Zinnen, Le Bois-Rond, La Canche aux Merciers, Le Télégraphe de Noisy. In Noisy-sur-Ecole, at La Croix-Saint-Jérôme is the parking for : La Gorge aux Châts, Châteauveau, Pignon-Poteau, Le 95.2, Les Gros-Sablons, Le Rocher Jean-des-Vignes, Le Rocher des Potets. In Noisy-sur-Ecole, on the route D16, is the parking for La roche aux Sabots, La Roche aux Oiseaux, le 91.1, Le Cul de Chien . You can go to the 95.2, Les Gros-Sablons, Le Rocher des Potets, le Rocher Jean-des-Vignes from here too. In Le Vaudoué, there are 2 parking lots. The first one, coming from Achères gives a direct access to the J.A. Martin. The second one gives access to La Vallée de la Mée : Rocher Guichot, Potala, Diplodocus, Rocher du Général, Grande Montagne, Rocher Fin. |
