Tips from the Community
A bucolic, clean, well-maintained, and shaded spot, with tables and trash cans for picnicking. It's officially a Paris commune, but it looks nothing like Paris.

Wikipedia reports: "The source of the Seine is located on the plateau of Langres, 25 km north-west of Dijon in the Côte-d'Or department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, 470 m above sea level. A special feature is that the sources of the Seine were the property of the city of Paris from 1864 onwards. An artificial grotto was built a year later to protect the main source and a statue of a nymph was erected to symbolize the river. Paris has since returned the property to the region. Near the source are the remains of a Gallo-Roman temple in which a Dea Sequana (Latin goddess of the Seine) was worshipped. The archaeological finds from this are now in the archaeological department of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon."

Beautiful asphalt road crossing the Val-Suzon nature reserve. The reserve has an area of 3000 ha. The natural heritage of this area is unique, it presents a rich diversity of environments: dry lawns, scree, tufa marshes located in the heart of very diverse forest habitats - from which cliffs offer landscaped viewpoints over the valley.

A pretty water tower from the end of the 19th century. "The Saussy Tower (or BREDIN Tower) is the last vestige of an original and complex water supply system intended to supply the village and a castle. Built in 1876/1878, this building is the only castle in water from France whose pump was powered by a wind turbine! It was the engineer Paul BREDIN, who imagined and financed the construction of this astonishing machinery; he had made his fortune in the silk industry and had settled in Saussy . Inexplicably forgotten for 120 years and therefore never modified or retouched, the Saussy tower is a remarkable testimony to the industrial architecture of the 19th century applied to hydraulics..." source: https://www.fondation-patrimoine.org/les-projets/tour-de-saussy
