Grand-Voyeux Regional Nature Reserve
10 km

Grand-Voyeux Regional Nature Reserve

As if it were the Baie de Somme... Its 241 hectares, 60% of which are covered by water, offer visitors a patchwork of amazing landscapes located in the immediate vicinity of the Marne: ponds, reed beds, meadows and groves provide shelter and food for more than 225 species of birds, some of which are endangered in the region, and which are undoubtedly the most remarkable wealth of the reserve ... Exceptional for the fauna and flora it shelters, it is part of the Natura 2000 site "Les Boucles de la Marne". Not so long ago, the Grand-Voyeux Regional Nature Reserve was still a quarry, where conveyors extracted sand and gravel with a crunch of grains. Excavated in the 1970s, the cavities were gradually transformed into waterholes, quickly colonised by reeds and birds, thus allowing nature to take over. The Maison du Grand-Voyeux is open to the public two days a week, with the aim of helping visitors discover the Grand-Voyeux while preserving biodiversity and the balance of the ecosystems. A discovery trail and observatories allow visitors to discover the incredible landscapes of the site and the multitude of bird species that have found refuge there. Nature activities, workshops and thematic conferences are also organised regularly and free of charge (see programme online at www.maisondugrandvoyeux.fr). Managed by the Agence des espaces verts (AEV) of the Île-de-France Region since 1999, it was classified as a Regional Nature Reserve in 2012. A partner of the AEV, the Association pour la Valorisation des Espaces Naturels du Grand Voyeux is responsible for the scientific monitoring of the site and for certain activities.

Sensitive natural area of the hill of Montassis
9.8 km

Sensitive natural area of the hill of Montassis

The sensitve natural area of the hill of Montassis, with a surface area of ​​46 hectares, culminates at 164 m and dominates the country of France to the south and the Multien plateau to the north. The site is part of a set of witness mounds*, called the Goële hills, which form a striking axis in the landscape of the North of Seine-et-Marne. Like most nearby hills, the Montassis hill has only been fully wooded for a relatively recent past. At the beginning of the 20th century, its southern and western flanks were planted with vines and orchards. Its strategic location quickly gives it importance to communicate or observe the surroundings. In the first half of the 19th century, the high point of the hill was equipped with a Chappe telegraph, named after its inventor. With a long distance communication mechanism, this is the quickest way to transmit messages. The wood of the telegraph, as it is still called today, no longer has any traces: the telegraph has been replaced by a geodesic chimney built by the Geographical Service of the army (SGA), ancestor of the Institute national geographic (IGN). At the beginning of the 20th century, it enabled cartographers to carry out precise surveys for the establishment of staff maps. It was this same strategic position that made the hill the scene of a bloody episode at the start of the First World War. On September 5, 1914, a brigade of Moroccan troops attempted to take the hill held by the German army. The assault, in the open, was terrible and the brigade suffered heavy losses before being supported by French troops from the west. The German troops end up turning back. These battles will forever be associated with the first battle of the Marne, which prevented the capture of Paris. The wood subsoil, rich in gypsum *, was exploited from 1971 to 1986, mainly towards Penchard. Apart from some marked depressions, resulting from the obstruction of the galleries by caving *, this underground exploitation has left few visible traces in the perimeter of the ENS. The Municipality of Chauconin-Neufmontiers has long valued this hill which dominates the village, in particular with the opening of a historic circuit and the restoration of part of the paths which cross the wood. In order to strengthen the protection of heritage and the natural environment on the site, the Department decided to classify it as a sensitive natural area in 2007.
