Departure from Élancourt (Yvelines)
Short hike in the Île-de-France region, from Élancourt Village to the Courance de Maurepas pond.
The outward journey follows the left bank of the Ru d'Elancourt, the return journey follows the right bank.
The first part (from (S) to (3)) can no longer be done. The entire Elancourt hill (la Revanche) is under construction in preparation for the Olympic Games and is therefore closed to hiking. This will remain the case until 2025... See reviews
