Description

This walk enables you to discover two very different sites: the boulder chaos* of the Rocher Canon, and a pond with its ditches created by Man.

La mare aux Evées: the word « Evées » comes from old French and applies to a swampy area. The purpose of its ditches, dug under King Louis Philippe as part of public works aimed at fighting unemployment, is to drain this swampy area. A few noteworthy trees, as well as the names of alleys, bear witness to an ancient arboretum. More than 20 km of ditches were dug in a star pattern, as well as the central basin of 12. 000 m3.

Noteworthy trees: at the Rocher Canon, the oak called “Bonsai” is an outstanding curiosity of the Fontainebleau massif, a twisted tree literally “sitting” on a sandstone rock. Around the Mare aux Evées (and the Mare à Bauge nearby), bald cypresses also known as Louisiana cypresses were planted around 1830; an aerial excrescence of their roots, called cypress knees or pneumatophores can be observed.

Forest alleys: they began to be cut through the forest under the reign of King Henri IV (1556-1610), in order to ease access to the forest for stag hunting. The court was then able to follow the hunt in carriages thanks to theses alleys and star crossroads.
