11:00 of the morning " surrounding vegetation "
and a gray sky like often in north, to help of my gray filter 121 to heat the atmosphere, then still after a p' tit fifteen minutes of waiting I have finally to profit from a p' tit respite of clear sky but of some minute only, in order to immortaliser this small hunting lodge, a little history At the time of l' installation of the new city of Villeneuve d' Ascq, they were three villages (Ascq, Annappes and Flers) the town planners knew to combine l' useful to l' pleasant by arranging six lakes, retaining tanks of rainwater, allowing a regular infiltration. Lake of the Castle, lake of the Spaniards, lake Midsummer's Day, Lake Quicampoix, Lake Canteleu and the vast lake of Héron) decorate the city thus and are as many places of stroll and dawdling. The full rotation can give place to a walk continues… d' a good dozen kilometers. The few 110 hectares d' water and of greenery constituting the Park of Héron form remarkable milked d' union enters the City and the arable lands, a vast zone of nature downtown. In 1995,73 ha of the park were classified " natural reserve volontaire". Since 2002, the park of the héron is managed by l' Natural space Lille metropolis.
