association ARHYME

Created in 2003 by Jean Ménard, the ARHYME (association for the rehabilitation of the hydraulic network of the royal domain of Meudon) protects, maintains and enhances this remarkable heritage of the 17th century.
On 2,000 ha of the Meudon-Vélizy plateau, 50 km of channels, 4.5 km of underground aqueducts, large water storage tanks were buried (and preserved) in the forest before being rediscovered from the original plans that were kept in the National Archives.
