Parc de la Haute-Île

Parc de la Haute-Île is a nature reserve and park in Neuilly-sur-Marne that spreads across flat terrain along the Marne River, combining wetlands, woodlands, and open grasslands into one landscape. The site includes archaeological areas where tools and settlement remains from earlier times can be seen.

The area was a favored location for human settlements over thousands of years, from prehistoric times until more recent periods. The proximity to the Marne River made the land attractive to people who could use its water and fertile banks.

The site reflects how people have lived along the Marne valley for centuries, with visible traces of their presence in the landscape. Visitors can discover remnants of daily life and settlement patterns that show connections between the inhabitants and their natural surroundings.

Bring sturdy shoes since paths wind through wetlands and woodlands where the ground can be muddy, especially after rainfall. The wooden observation platforms are reached via marked paths with information signs posted at key locations.

From the bird-watching cabins, visitors can spot about forty bird species including gulls, swans, ducks, and kingfishers through binoculars or with the naked eye. These regular visitors use the banks and waters to breed and feed.
