Parc départemental du Sausset, Nature park in Aulnay-sous-Bois, France.
Parc départemental du Sausset is a large nature park with broadleaf forests, meadows, a central pond called Savigny, and marshy areas. The different habitats support a rich variety of plants and insects throughout the seasons.
The park opened in 1981, transforming a neglected area northeast of Paris into a protected natural space. This development was part of a broader effort to create green spaces in the densely populated Île-de-France region.
The visitor center La Maison du Parc hosts nature exhibitions and forest activities that help people connect with local plant life. Schools and families come here to learn about the ecosystems of the Île-de-France region.
The park is open daily and sits near RER train stations and bus stops for easy access. Visitors should expect some uneven ground and walking trails, especially when exploring the different natural areas.
A special section of the park, the 35-hectare Meadow Garden, is managed using ecological gardening practices. This approach attracts native bird species and gives visitors a glimpse into how nature can be cared for sustainably.
