Departure from Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines)
A pleasant circuit entirely through the woods in the Saint-Germain-en-Laye National Forest. Enjoyable in all seasons except when it rains. Beautiful oak and beech forests, a discovery trail, and a small pond (the duck pond) halfway along the route. No particular difficulty, except for paying attention to the frequent changes in direction. Be careful in autumn and winter, as some paths are difficult to see under the leaves. Visitor numbers: see practical information.

Departure from Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines)
This circuit connects some notable points in the northern part of the Saint Germain forest: a riding school and former theatre, a hunting lodge, a pond, a former shooting range and a 10-pointed star (crossroads). There are no particular difficulties, except for watching out for horse riders, who are numerous at weekends (horses have right of way).
