The town of Pringy is one of the finest examples of "nature in the city" in the département: its town hall, the former "country house" of the Count of Vaudreuil, is set in 9 hectares of landscaped parkland.
Playing with one of the bends in the river École and the forest edges, the "naturalist" landscape gardeners, inspired by the Romantic period, have succeeded in alternating, between light and shade, meadows and wooded areas, watery mirrors and undergrowth.
Along the course of the river, they scattered a thatched kiosk, a grotto, a "little factory", a Japanese bridge and a fishpond fed by a spring: a succession of "landscapes" inspired by painting and preserved thanks to exemplary management.
All year round, daily.
