Fauvettes Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

Magnificent viewpoint over the valley surrounded by greenery, accessible by "gravel" paths (roots and stones) through the wood or by "hiking / mountain biking" trails in the valley (it will however be necessary to ascend the elevation on foot in this case).
Built in 1913 for the "Paris-Chartres" line, bombed in 1944, unused, closed, the viaduct was recently renovated for leisure. We see caving groups training there, as well as climbers who practice climbing on the pillars.

Montjay Tunnel

Highlight • Trail

Like the nearby Fauvettes viaduct, the Montjay tunnel once served as the old Paris-Chartres railway line. In the middle of the communal forest of Bures-sur-Yvette, it punctuates the straight and rolling line leading to the viaduct.
