This splendid forest covers 25,000 hectares (6,175,000 acres) of which 20,000 (4,940,000 acres) are national, including the Trois-Pignons forest. The old Bière forest - the name still exists in Chailly or Fleury-en-Bière - was from all time a wonderful hunting ground. Hikers and lovers of climbing have a soft spot for this forest.
The forest in divided into 747 sections treated in such a way as to render the best planting possible. 9/10th of the forest are trees, the rest is made up of moor and rocks.
Paths lead the tourists in the heart of the most famous sites. They are the work of Denecourt and of Colinet. The first cleared the caves, freed up the nicest sites and drew 150 km of marked out paths. Colinet continued his predecessors work. The forest is completely surrounded by a path called "le bornage"(demarcation).The painter Bulgari, student of David, did the first map.
