The Carouge basin is the point of convergence of the Orge, Blutin, Salmouille and Boële. The basin was dug in the 1970s to extract materials for road construction, and also to manage the floods of the Orge.

Here you can see many species of birds, such as seagulls, cormorants and ringed plovers depending on the season. The path along the basin is safe and flat.

Orge Riverbank Snack Bar

Highlight • Cafe

Refreshment bar on the banks of the Barley positioned opposite the St Michel basin, ideal for a quiet drink or a short break on the walk along the banks of the Barley.
Walk which is a classic nice outing to do, very popular with families, to ride easily on the weekend you have to aim for the morning before 9am. But very pleasant and ideal for beginners on a bike. It is a very easy and rolling long path between Savigny s/o and Arpajon
