Geocache Description:

This cache is located near a beautiful park named "Hypodrome de Longchamps near Saint-Cloud, the place I live in. This parc is named "Parc du bois de boulogne - Edmond de Rothschild". There's a beautiful (though artificial) waterfall too.

This cache is near a waterfall and is the entry of a famous park where people go walk, play and even fish at some places.

A nice family of water birds lives there. They have a small island visible from the cache area which cannot be accessed, so they won't be troubled by human presence.

By going to the cache coordinates, you should see stairs that go down to a small area, from which you can see water birds (there is a complete family there, father, mother and about 9 child birds). The cache is a hole.

if you are coming by car, you will have to park and go by foot since the area can't be reached otherwise. If you know a little Paris, it's not very far from the "Porte Maillot".

The initial box contents were: a tour effeil medal of 2001, a small pin "undercober slut" (a metal band), two sets of matches, two hear plugs to cancel noise (in plastic bag), 4 lenses cleaning bags (anti-static), one small agathe with its neck chain, two keys keepers, black thin duct tape
- a magnetic compass, a dozen elastic straps, a graphite pen, paper for log

If you want to get there by car, I have coordinates for the parking (truth is there is a much more closer parking less than 10 meters away, but it's more fun to walk there so I give a farther one !). Coordinates for a parking that is 1.5 km (almost a mile) from objective are:

N 48 51.185 E 002 13.742

I would like to thank all the nice people that came to this cache.

Whatever you do : do not feed the birds please. This would push the little birds to come closer to humans for food and this will be dangerous for their survival and especially if some people throw them non-food items they'll eat and get sick from. No food please.
