The actual place

La Grenouillère was on the seawall between the island of Aligre of Croissy and the island of Chiard of Chatou, nowadays facing the Chanorier castle Croissy side, and Esso stadium on Rueil side.

The Grenouillère having been destroyed in 1928, the Association des Amis de la Grenouillère recreated the famous Camembert at its original place in 1999. One can go there walking to the river crossing the bridges between Bougival and Croissy or though the Impressionists island of Chatou. Due to the floods in mai 2016, the site is closed.
