Still functional, the hydraulic system designed in the eighteenth century to feed the great waterfall is operated to offer us the spectacle of a visual and sound scene. We can then relive the emotions of the visitors of the time, who consider the great waterfall as a place “full of beauty and horror” and dread the crash of its “bubbling waves”… In partnership with the Syndicat de la rivière La Juine and its tributaries

Essonne
Île-de-France

The Méréville estate, owned by the Conseil Départemental de l'Essonne since 2000, is one of the most remarkable picturesque and Anglo-Chinese gardens created at the end of the 18th century in France. From stage to stage, the walker of today discovers his particularity: to be arranged like a "natural painting" based on the art of surprising and marveling. The environmental interest of the estate, which has varied ecosystems, adds to the heritage interest of the site already considerable.
The acquisition of the park by the Conseil Départemental de l'Essonne is a matter of political determination to rehabilitate, develop and upgrade the site. The Department intends to participate in the development of the built and landscaped heritage by conducting information and awareness actions on the parks and historic gardens of the Essonne.
The park is open on weekends and weekdays from April to October during free or guided tours. Ask the Tourist Office of Méréville to know the calendar of visits.
