- Chalais Pond for calm water views and birdwatching,
- the Jardies Walk for an easy loop,
- shaded trails suitable for all fitness levels.
Pack comfortable shoes; the forest paths are perfect for a gentle hike or a light jog before lunch.

Settle into one of Clamart’s reliable lunch spots:
- La Ferme — modern French bistro dishes,
- Palais du Bonheur — refined Asian cuisine,
- Casa Nostra — Italian classics in a friendly setting.
These addresses offer quality menus and are convenient from the town centre.
Afternoon: Town‑Centre Strolls
Explore the compact, walkable centre. Highlights include:
- Place du Panorama (market on selected days),
- artisan bakeries like Maison Landemaine,
- quiet residential lanes with small gardens and flowering shrubs.
Pause for coffee at a local café terrace and take the time to enjoy the neighbourhood feel that defines Clamart.
Evening: Dinner & Wind‑Down
For dinner, consider Café de l’Hôtel de Ville or Rubeo Monte, both known for friendly service and well‑executed classics. Return to Le Relais Amélie for a restful night in a calm, residential environment.
Day 2 — Morning: Panorama Park & the New Plateau
Begin at Parc du Panorama, a recently landscaped green space with:

- open lawns and contemporary viewpoints over the plateau.
The surrounding Panorama district showcases recent architecture and generous public spaces designed for walking and cycling.
