Some of these trees have probably seen the royal hunting parties pass by! This hike is partly like a treasure hunt. The remarkable trees are usually located a few dozen metres from the forest paths and require a little effort to discover. But the beauty of these specimens quickly makes you forget the difficulties. The route is further enhanced by passing close to two 18th-century castles.

Tigery, a large agricultural village, is gradually becoming urbanised and encroaching on the rich farmland of Brie. This walk allows you to discover both sides of the village, then crosses fields and forest to reach the Ru des Hauldres, which you follow upstream to a wetland area with ponds, fauna and flora. The return journey takes you through a reed bed, then down the stream that winds through the Sénart National Forest to Lake Tigery.

Named after Acionna, the Gallo-Roman goddess of rivers, the Essonne flows through the north of the Loiret department and the south of the Île-de-France region. The first five stages follow its course downstream, while the last four follow it upstream. These nine stages are accessible by train. One stage, which is not accessible by train, forms a circular route upstream. The route alternates between paths along the river, passages through woods and those across cultivated plateaus.

The banks of the Seine and the town of Corbeil have a rich historical and industrial past, which is highlighted on this walk. Among other things: Kings and Queens of France, famous figures, historical events, and prestigious industrial establishments. It is also a walk where, despite increasing urbanisation, nature and beautiful landscapes are still very much present.

This hike mostly takes place along the Yerres, a tributary of the Seine, and also includes a section in the Forest of Senart and an urban section.

Cesson, its neighbourhoods and the Briard villages to the west, the Seine, a few ponds, a wash house, calvaries, a castle and a forest. Prehistoric remains, a menhir in the Bois de Sainte-Assise and the remains of a Gallo-Roman villa in the windmill plain bear witness to the ancient occupation of our territory. Not far from the Ru de Balory, at the end of Rue de la Fontaine, there was a spring, now tapped, near which people settled in the Middle Ages, soon building a church dedicated to Saint Martin. The development of the village and its two main hamlets, Saint-Leu and Verneau, was relatively slow. A table drawn up in 1793 shows that there were around 250 citizens.
