Project presentation
The Andilly plateau lies around 10 km north of Paris. This plateau was mined for its clay deposits. Left uncultivated, the plots of land have been subject to illegal dumping. AEV acquires these plots. In partnership with AEV, the development project aims to rehabilitate neglected plots and open up this natural area to the public.

Project life
The Andilly plateau, a project carried out with the Agence des Espaces Verts.
ECT has been working to heal the landscape since 2008, using the circular economy principle of reusing excavated soil. Today, this natural area is open to the public. Its renaturation offers a variety of environments: orchards, clearings, grazing areas and forests. From the summit, the belvedere offers a 360° panoramic view of the entire Ile-de-France region.
