La Forêt Augmentée

For this walk, you will need to have a smartphone in your pocket and headphones (or earphones) on your ears.

Be sure to download the app before your walk.

The parking at Château de la Chasse is only accessible by car.

However, you can access the Montmorency forest by public transport:

Take the Transilien H to Taverny station or Saint-Leu-la-Forêt station. From Paris, you can board it at Paris Nord station.

From both Taverny and Saint-Leu-la-Forêt stations, the forest entrance is a 13-minute walk. On the west side of the forest, Transilien H also serves Bouffémont-Moisselles and Domont stations.

Launched by Plaine Vallée Tourisme, with support from the Île-de-France Region, the Val-d’Oise department, the National Forests Office, and the Centre des Arts d’Enghien-les-Bains, the "La forêt augmentée" app is usable on iPhone and Android phones and available for free on the Apple Store and Google Play.

A map of the Montmorency forest with explanations of the routes is available for wanderers on the Plaine Vallée Tourisme website, at the Tourist Office, and in various locations. Don’t hesitate to ask for it!

The audio-augmented route immerses the viewer in the soundtrack of the places crossed.

The walk is an experience: animated by dynamic geolocalized and spatialized sound flows (musical mix, evolving 3D soundscapes, literary spots performed by actors, etc.) that form parts of an immersive kaleidoscope synchronized to the rhythm of the walk, drawing a tension line between the emotion aroused by the sound and the physical experience of the places crossed: the visitor navigates at the edge of the real and the dreamlike.
