The « Arc boisé » forest charter provide different partners (territorial collectivities, public servicies, wood owners, business and tourism actors, associations) and the public since june 2002 with a clear statement of the values that are fundamental for the territory, including the primacy of ecological integrity in national forest management, and the principles that govern forest services to the public.

The « Arc boisé » regroup several urban woods in Val-de-Marne such as Notre-Dame, La Grange and Grosbois forests, but also their prolongation in Essonne and Seine-et-Marne Departments.


Public and partners are both concerned by the Charter and involved to protect the edge, adopting an ecological attitude.

Val-de-Marne Tourism Department Committee supports all actions suggested, such as educational activities and leisures in order to inform the public (Forests charter, descriptives of forests, feasibility Study on hospitality services for the Public…).

Thank you for downloading the charter and preserving the « Arc boisé » environment
