Anyone choosing Tigery for a stay will find a direct connection with nature particularly in the north of the municipality: woodland shapes this part of the area, while green spaces and cultural venues provide other focal points. The offerings differ considerably: the Allée Royale draws attention to the forest and landscape, the Coulée verte combines open space with sports and play facilities, and Le Silo adds a cultural dimension. When planning, it helps to decide first whether you want to focus on time in the forest, outdoor activities or an event.
Forest and landscape in the north
The northern half of Tigery includes 340 hectares of woodland, accounting for more than 36 percent of the municipality’s area. In addition, part of the municipality’s northern area is included in the ZNIEFF Type II “Forêt de Sénart,” an area of ecological interest. These figures clearly locate the forest in the north and give a tangible sense of its share of the municipality.
The protected Allée Royale serves as a discovery trail. From there, you can observe the groups of trees on the plateau and the effects of the forest edge. This brings a specific landscape into focus: the view of the trees and the transition between the plateau and the forest edge. The Allée Royale is therefore a distinct point of interest for anyone interested in forests and landscapes.
Green spaces and nature trails
The ten-hectare Coulée verte is located in the ZAC du Plessis Saucourt. Its recreational facilities include a workout area, Teqball, a City-Stade playing field and a skatepark. This sets it apart from the Allée Royale: here, specific sports and play facilities shape the outdoor experience. As facilities can change over time, check the latest information before your visit.
The Faisanderie de Sénart is a former 18th-century hunting lodge that now serves as a forest education centre. Throughout the year, it offers nature programmes for school groups and businesses, focusing on the discovery, management and preservation of the forest ecosystem. The connection with the landscape extends beyond the centre itself: the Faisanderie meeting point in the municipality of Tigery provides access to hundreds of kilometres of forest trails. If you would like to include forest trails in your stay, this is a specific point of reference, without committing you to a particular route.
Culture in Tigery
Le Silo is a local performance venue with 300 seats and a strong focus on comedy. Another strand of its programme is devoted to contemporary music, including chanson, pop, folk and festive music. The combination of comedy and music makes Le Silo a cultural venue with a varied programme. Individual performances change, so check the current programme if a particular event is important to your trip.
The Médiathèque also hosts numerous events throughout the year. These include “La Clé des Livres,” “L’Histoire des bébés” and the “Il était une fois” workshop. For culture enthusiasts, the venues offer different kinds of activities: Le Silo focuses on live performances, while the Médiathèque offers events centred on books and stories. Check the dates for the period of your stay if you would like to attend one of them.
Getting there and planning your stay
Three bus networks serve the municipality of Tigery. There is also a connection from Tigery to Paris on RER D. Routes and timetables may change, so check the latest connections before travelling. This allows you to plan your journey using the bus and rail services relevant to your stay, without assuming a particular travel time.
The nature and cultural offerings cater to different interests: the forest trails and the Allée Royale focus on the landscape, while the Coulée verte offers outdoor recreation. Le Silo and the Médiathèque provide different cultural options. Which of these matters most to you depends on whether you plan your stay around the forest, outdoor activities or an event.
