Val-de-Marne: Bièvre revived in Arcueil and Gentilly!
This buried river has been flowing again in the open between the two municipalities since last April.
The water crosses the bridge on Avenue Paul-Doumer in Arcueil and runs to the Parc du Coteau-de-Bièvre at the entrance to Gentilly.
But for the bravest, the ride can continue upstream or downstream, since the Bièvre, 33 km long, has its source in the Yvelines and crosses four departments including the Val-de-Marne, to flow into the Seine. .
To take advantage of this new island of freshness, join the Raspail gymnasium in Arcueil (58, avenue Raspail).
