Departure from Boissise-le-Roi (Seine-et-Marne)
A walk from station to station showcasing the full diversity of southern Île-de-France! For the first two-thirds of the route, the path crosses back and forth over the River École, with its old mills and countless wash houses. You then wander across a plateau with its typical heathland landscape. The walk concludes with a route that is mainly through woodland. A castle and a few Romanesque or Gothic churches add to the rich heritage of this walk.

Departure from Melun (Seine-et-Marne)
This stage is the shortest on theGR®®1. It offers a chance to discover Melun’s historical heritage. With no elevation gain, it is ideal for families. This walk serves as a warm-up for the Forest of Fontainebleau, which will be more challenging to traverse. The walk can be divided into three sections: an urban first and third section passing through Melun, Vaux-le-Pénil, Chartrettes and Bois-le-Roi, separated by a short wooded stretch.

Departure from Bois-le-Roi (Seine-et-Marne) (Seine-et-Marne)
This stage of the GR®1 connects Bois-le-Roi to Le Vaudoué. It is the only stage that does not end at a train station. This hike is unique in that it crosses the Forest of Fontainebleau and its many beautiful rocks. There are several points of interest along this section, which is entirely forested: the tree at Carrefour des Longues Vallées, the rocks at Cuvier Chatillon, the viewpoint at Gorges d'Apremont and Gorges de Franchard (worth visiting if you don't mind walking a little further), as well as the Chapel of Prieuré Notre-Dame de Franchard and the church at Vaudoué.

Departure from Bois-le-Roi (Seine-et-Marne) (Seine-et-Marne)
The Fontainebleau Forest is one of the most beautiful forests in France thanks to its varied landscapes and, above all, its sandstone blocks. This hike, which passes through the Cuvier-Châtillon rocks, the Apremont gorges and the rocks of Mont Ussy, will allow you to appreciate all its beauty but also its fragility, due to both natural erosion and that caused by heavy human traffic, given its proximity to the Paris region.

A hike from station to station, the first half of which takes place entirely in the northern part of the Forest of Fontainebleau, with a passage through the rocky chaos of Rocher Canon and then to the mysterious Mare aux Évées. The route then becomes much more urban, passing through several residential areas. It finally ends on the Seine towpath.

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.

This last stage of the journey along the Essonne offers many opportunities to play leapfrog with the river. It is obviously the stage with the most urban sections. The town of Corbeil-Essonnes reveals its rich religious, civil and industrial heritage.

Departure from Corbeil-Essonnes (Essonne)
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.
