Lake Daumesnil
Description
The largest lake in the Bois de Vincennes, with a circumference of 2 km, Lake Daumesnil is recognizable by its two accessible islands connected by a footbridge.
The larger of the two, Île de Reuilly, features a cave and an artificial waterfall, overlooked by an antique-style rotunda designed by architect Gabriel Davioud.
The smaller island, where dogs are not allowed, serves as a refuge for numerous geese and peacocks.
