This section parallel to the Seine cycle route is not very smooth. The large number of holes are filled with ballast (large stones) from the SNCF tracks. Without suspension it hurts :D

This small table is in the oldest large circle. A large table is located in the new small star. An old table, called the "débotter" table, on which the king sat so that his large hunting boots could be put on, it also served as a snack table and also, and perhaps especially by climbing onto it by a circular bench, as an observatory in the center of a star. The small table of Beynes seems the oldest, it is a large circular block, split in the middle and supported by four terminals. The large table is more ornate with the inscription "remade in 1783", and its top bears the indication of the roads, also serving as an orientation table. This assignment is unique, moreover the inscription "Route d'Auteuil" does not correspond to the star where it is, but to the Grand Rond. It is reasonable to think that the table from Ste Appoline (Plaisir) was brought there first, while the one from Beynes was being remade, then the tablets were reversed, and this is how the large table is in the small star and gives the orientations of the Grand Rond.

This gas-fired Edf power station has been closed for several years; however, these two immense chimneys, which I hope will remain as a testimony to a certain era, have the major interest of being visible from dozens of kilometers around and are for me an excellent landmark to locate myself during my bike rides.

The Porcheville thermal power plant is a former power plant, its final shutdown having taken place on May 1, 2017. It is located in Porcheville in the Yvelines (France) on the banks of the Seine, about fifty kilometers northwest of Paris. It was operated by EDF. The two chimneys of the plant are 220 meters high to evacuate their fumes well above the 70 m cliff facing the site on the left bank of the Seine.

Élisabethville, once a holiday resort, is today a residential town located in the Yvelines department (France), straddling the communes of Aubergenville and Épône. Created in 1928, it has about 4,000 inhabitants. One of the most remarkable buildings is the Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus church, a reinforced concrete construction with sculptures in the concrete in setting dating from 1928, the work of the architect Paul Tournon and the sculptor Carlo Sarrabezolles

Church located in the Yvelines in Beynes, in the west of Paris. It dates from the 13th century and has seen various demolitions and reconstructions throughout history. Today located in the city center, you can stop there for a supply or simply catch your breath.
