Parc des Sources de la Bièvre, Urban park in Guyancourt, France.
Parc des Sources de la Bièvre is an urban park that links the business district of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines with the natural valley landscape through landscaped areas and water elements. The site includes forested sections, gardens, and a large pond at its center.
The Roussières woodland, located within the park, appears in administrative records from 1787 and has been managed for centuries. The park itself developed in recent decades as a modern project designed to bridge the commercial area with nature.
Artist Marta Pan created monumental sculptures throughout the park using geometric forms that explore different philosophical ideas. Visitors encounter these works while walking, discovering how shapes and spaces invite personal reflection.
The park entrance near Boulevard Vauban provides access to multiple trails that wind through different areas and landscapes. Visitors can choose shorter or longer routes depending on their pace and what they want to see.
The large pond at the center manages rainwater runoff from surrounding developed areas, serving both as a natural feature and a functional system. This dual role demonstrates how water management and recreation are woven together in the park's design.
