Aubergenville walks

This walk will first take you on a journey of discovery through the heritage of this district of Aubergenville and Épône, an avant-garde holiday resort created in the 1920s. On the way back, you will walk along the Mauldre and Giboin rivers to reach the "beach".

A varied hike with some elevation gain. You will pass through a few villages or residential areas and alternate between woods and cultivated fields.

During this walk, you will discover the heritage of Épône, the birthplace of the Fifth Republic, and also set off in search of the wash houses of Mézières through fields, woods and hamlets.

A walk that is half rural, half woodland, allowing you to visit 11 wash houses scattered throughout the region's pretty villages, of various styles and constructions, most of them decorated with flowers, some of which are quite complex in design and/or large in size, offering clear, refreshing running water (although not drinkable), which is much appreciated when temperatures soar above 30°C. Two viewpoints over Mantes-la-Jolie and its collegiate church, and the chimneys of the Porcheville power station, which are often in view.

Starting from the village of Bazemont, rich in heritage, this is a forest loop for a good half of the route, with passages between fields and along the streams that drain them.

Circular route from Juziers station, alternating between farmland and forests. Several interesting churches (unfortunately often closed), beautiful wash houses, a fountain with its statue still intact. And of course, the beautiful covered walkway of the Mare aux Fées, which is well worth a detour.

During this varied, hilly hike, you will discover three small villages as you stroll along narrow streets and paths. You will walk along a few hillside and woodland trails, discover beautiful viewpoints and stroll along the Seine on your return.

A walk around Juziers that allows you to discover its heritage, a panoramic view of the valley and a pleasant return trip along a towpath on the banks of the Seine.

This route follows part ofthe GR®26 trailon the plateau above the Mauldre.

During this short urban walk, you will discover not only wash houses and fountains, but also a beautiful church and several historic sites in the town.

Starting from the banks of the Seine opposite Île Verte, walk up the narrow streets and paths to Villa Paul Poiret.

After exploring Maule and its heritage, you will climb through the woods and walk through the countryside to reach Aulnay-sur-Mauldre. From there, you will follow the Mauldre and its recent meanders back to the starting point.

The walk begins with a very varied section of the GRP® "Impressionist Seine" trail, starting with the imposing ESA Ariane rocket factory and its loading dock, a charming marina, the Val de Seine leisure island, and several large ponds. It continues with Triel-sur-Seine, its pleasant Parc Senet, and its Église St-Martin with its complex architecture. The crossing of the Bois d'Hautil via easy but unspoilt paths is worth the detour for its chestnut forests dotted with a few beautiful oak trees and pierced by a large number of chasms resulting from the collapse of underground quarries. The walk ends peacefully as you admire the confluence of the Oise and the Seine.

Half urban, half rural route to discover old Meulan-en-Yvelines and the views over the Aubette and Seine valleys.

This walk can be started from Meulan-Hardricourt station and follows marked paths for a good part of the way, even if they are not always easy to identify, particularly the access tothe GR® 2. During this walk, you can see the church of Hardricourt, pass through fields, see La Défense, enjoy the undergrowth, admire the pretty village of Mézy-sur-Seine and, if you are feeling adventurous, dip your feet in the water (in summer) and enjoy the banks of the Seine. Please note that in cold weather, some sections of the forest may be muddy and difficult to walk on.
