The Plateau d'Avron is a historical geological site formed by deep-sea deposits from the Eocene epoch.
The park is home to a diverse array of butterfly species and serves as a regional monitoring site for local entomologists.
The area was historically part of the battlegrounds during the Siege of Paris in 1870-1871.
It is managed with specific ecological practices to maintain the natural balance of its wildflower meadows.
Parc des Côteaux d'Avron is a naturalistic park situated on the plateau of the Plateau d'Avron in Neuilly-Plaisance, offering expansive views over the eastern Paris basin. The site encompasses over 10 hectares of protected land, serving as a sanctuary for local biodiversity and migratory birds. Visitors can access a network of walking trails that traverse meadows, wooded zones, and orchard sections. The park features dedicated spaces for pétanque, reflecting the local suburban French recreation culture. It functions as a managed ecological corridor that connects residential areas to the wider regional green belt. The park's varied terrain includes both flat paths and slight inclines along the hillside. It remains a primary location for residents seeking quiet outdoor exercise or leisurely walks within a suburban setting.
