Loop of the Grand Canal of the Château de Versailles

Explanation

The Grand Canal is the work of Louis XIV's gardener, André le Nôtre. This part of the chateau's park was originally a wetland that this genius gardener transformed into a gigantic water reservoir.

The Tour du Canal is paved with asphalt and is the largest of its kind in France.

The Tour du Canal is tarred and homemade, the other part of the course is on gravel. For many local riders, this course offers a fabulous training ground with views of the canal and its surroundings.

Open daily: High season (Spring / summer): 7am - 8.30pm Low season (Autumn / Winter): 8am - 6pm

Entrance to the park with a vehicle is subject to a fee. Free parking is available near the Porte Saint Antoine.

Bars and restaurants are available.

Bars and restaurants are open in high season and on some days in low season.

If running is not enough for you, you can also rent bicycles and boats.

Dogs are not allowed in the park.

Dogs are not allowed in the gardens (near the castle) and must be kept on a leash in the park.

Randonnées Grand Canal (Parc de Versailles)

Le Grand Canal de Versailles est le plus grand bassin du parc du château de Versailles. En forme de croix, il fut construit entre 1667 et 1679, à l'instigation de Le Nôtre. Avant cette date le parc, fermé par une grille, s'arrêtait derrière le bassin des Cygnes. Derrière cette grille, s'étendait une zone marécageuse appelée « étang puant » qui était à l'origine de nombreuses maladies parmi les Versaillais.

Il est alimenté par le Ru de Gally.

Tour du Grand Canal du Château de Versailles avec un détour par Le Petit et Grand Trianon

Du Parc de Saint-Cloud au Parc de Versailles en boucle

Un parcours très boisé à deux coups de pédale de Paris, qui permet de traverser deux parcs au passé prestigieux, de longer le Grand Canal de Versailles, de sinuer dans la Forêt de Fausses-Reposes et de flâner au bord des Étangs de Ville-d'Avray.

Randonnées à proximité de Grand Canal (Parc de Versailles)

En suivant la bièvre de saint-quentin-en-yvelines à igny.

Il s'agit de la partie amont de cette série de trois randonnées consacrées à la Bièvre. Un parcours très agréable le long de la rivière et de ses étangs, dans un cadre le plus souvent bucolique. Une randonnée de gare à gare, dont on peut adapter la longueur en fonction des conditions ou des envies.

En suivant la Bièvre

La Bièvre est une rivière emblématique de Paris, qui a marqué son histoire ainsi que celle de sa banlieue Sud. Cette randonnée suit le cours de la rivière depuis sa source jusqu'à son embouchure dans la Seine au cœur de Paris. Ce parcours est divisé en trois tronçons aux caractéristiques différentes, allant du plus champêtre au plus urbain.

De Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines à Versailles

La vallée de la Bièvre est sûrement un des coins les plus propices pour faire de la randonnée dans la région. En effet, ce n'est qu'une succession d'étangs et de paysages verdoyants en été. Cette randonnée passe dans la partie la plus intéressante de cette vallée avec une succession de cinq étangs remarquables. L'arrivée peut ensuite se poursuivre par la visite de Versailles, ajoutant ainsi une touche historique au parcours.

Gare à gare : de Viroflay-Rive-Gauche à Bellevue, par le Bois de Meudon

Un itinéraire de gare à gare, en sous-bois et avec du dénivelé. Marche ou jogging.

En forêt de Meudon de gare à gare

Randonnée ne présentant pas de difficulté, de la gare de Gare de Viroflay-Rive gauche à celle de Chaville-Rive gauche. La ville n'est jamais loin mais la forêt reste un havre de calme et de verdure. On visite plusieurs curiosités, on voit quelques beaux paysages et on s'aère !

De Bougival à Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche par le Parc et la Forêt de Marly

Un parcours essentiellement forestier malgré la proximité de Paris ! Après avoir traversé le Bois de Louveciennes, on profite du Parc de Marly, avec ses perspectives et ses pièces d'eau. On termine par la Forêt Domaniale de Marly, avec un parcours tout d'abord sinueux, puis sur un large chemin rectiligne.

De Chaville à La Celle-Saint-Cloud

Une courte randonnée de gare à gare à travers la Forêt domaniale de Fausses-Reposes et le Bois des Fonds Maréchaux, en passant par les Étangs de Ville-d'Avray.

De Chaville à Saint-Cloud par la forêt, les étangs et le parc

Une randonnée de gare à gare qui joue les montagnes russes dans la Forêt de Fausses-Reposes et le Parc de Saint-Cloud. Sur le parcours, on appréciera les Étangs de Ville-d'Avray, les pièces d'eau et les statues du parc, et un superbe point de vue sur le Val de Seine et Paris.

Une histoire d'eau autour de Marly et de l'Île de la Loge

La Machine de Marly fut construite à la fin du XVIIe siècle pour pomper les eaux de la Seine et alimenter les bassins du Château de Marly et ceux du Château de Versailles. Cette randonnée, en bonne partie en milieu urbain, traverse un "confetti" de la Forêt de Marly puis le Parc du même nom où subsistent les bassins. Après une bonne descente jusqu'à la Machine de Marly, on traverse la pittoresque Île de la Loge avant de remonter sur les hauteurs de Marly-le-Roi.

De L'Étang-la-Ville à Saint-Nom en Forêt de Marly

Une randonnée de gare à gare, essentiellement en forêt. Le parcours alterne les larges chemins balisés et les sentiers moins courus où un bon sens de l'orientation est utile. En chemin, de belles ambiances forestières, plusieurs arbres remarquables et une ancienne croix du XVIIIe siècle.

Marly lies 7 km north-west of Versailles, halfway between Versailles and the palace of Saint Germain en Laye, and was Louis XIV’s second great work. The king used it as a residence for leisure and kept access to it restricted to only a few privileged courtiers. Here, Jules Hardouin-Mansart demonstrated his dual talent as an architect and gardener by creating one of the most original works of the 17th century. The palace of Marly was gradually demolished in the early 19th century. The park and other features, such as the drinking pool with its two ponds, still remain today.
