Immerse yourself in the history of the Bièvre, a shallow river in Ile-de-France but full of history!
This river of 36 km has seen its waters sometimes polluted by craft and industrial activities, sometimes buried under the embankments. Today, it is the subject of many reopenings (in Haÿ-les-Roses in 2016, in Arcueil and Gentilly in 2022). Let’s retrace the journey from Bièvre to Cachan and discover the traces it has left and how it has shaped the landscape. With a marked geography, this urban valley offers many panoramas. Dotted with pavilions and gardens, the hillsides reveal a strong presence of nature. Aqueducts, elements of a vast water supply network in Paris, are its monuments.
