Climbing the Fauvettes viaduct in Bures sur Yvette
Just a few hundred meters from the Château de la Vierge, you can take a walk along an old disused railway line in the middle of a chestnut forest. You'll pass through a tunnel and come to a viaduct: the viaduc des fauvettes or d'Angoulême or de Bures.
This viaduct is located between Gometz le Châtel and Bures sur Yvette. It spans the Ru d'Angoulême and overlooks the Yvette valley in the middle of the Bois des Fauvettes, on the edge of the Parc de la Vallée de Chevreuse. It is part of the green corridor.
