Nature and geology

The Site géologique de Vigny-Longuesse is a Réserve naturelle régionale. It was established to welcome school groups and the public and is partially accessible to people with reduced mobility. At the same time, it is one of the co-stratotypes of the Danian stage, which spans the period from 65 to 60 million years ago. More than 400 fossil species have been recorded at the site.

Because of its sensitivity, the Site géologique de Vigny-Longuesse is not freely accessible. Visits are only possible as part of free events organized by “Sorties nature en Val d'Oise” or with special authorization from the département. At the site, geological traces can be observed that bear witness to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
