Meudon's forest, Public forest in western Paris suburbs, France.
Meudon's forest is a large wooded area in the western suburbs of Paris that spans multiple communes and features varied landscapes. The network includes open roads, horse trails, and marked hiking paths for different types of outdoor activities.
The area originated from the Rouvray forest that once covered Paris's western suburbs before becoming a royal hunting ground in the 17th century. Artificial ponds were created during this period and continue to shape the woodland landscape today.
The forest contains Cedar trees of Villebon and megalithic structures under the Mission Oak that draw nature lovers throughout the seasons. These places serve as gathering spots for visitors interested in exploring the woodland's character and its natural features.
The woodland paths are relatively easy to navigate and offer different options depending on your interests and fitness level. Visitors should note that certain areas may be more accessible during particular seasons.
A telecommunications tower within the forest rises approximately 270 meters high, making it the second highest point in the Paris region after the Eiffel Tower. This striking structure often surprises visitors who discover it towering among the trees.
