“Lake Daumesnil is an artificial lake located in the Bois de Vincennes in the 12th arrondissement in the east of Paris and administratively belongs to the quartier du Bel-Air. Lake Daumesnil is located in the southwest of the Bois de Vincennes. It has a water surface area of 12 hectares and contains two separate islands, Île de Reuilly and Île de Bercy, connected by bridges. Île de Reuilly features an artificial grotto and waterfall with a romantic rotunda designed by the architect Gabriel Davioud. All around the lake, a path bearing the name ‘Maurice-Boitel promenade’ since March 5, 2014 allows pedestrians to walk along the edges of the water. It is frequented by many joggers.” (Lac Daumesnil, Wikipedia)
