Bois de Boulogne walks
Barge path and footbridges between Neuilly and Saint-Cloud
This walk from Neuilly-sur-Seine takes you along the towpaths on Île de Puteaux and then along the east bank of the Seine in a very pleasant, tree-lined setting to the Passerelle de l'Avre footbridge. The return route, which is more urban, takes you to the heights of Saint-Cloud (with beautiful views of Paris and La Défense), where you can discover the Parc du Château and the lively historic district in the centre of Suresnes before returning to Île de Puteaux via the François Coty footbridge.
A tour of the Bois de Boulogne
Well known to Parisians, the Bois de Boulogne offers many possibilities for walks. This one, which can be done in half a day, avoids paved paths as much as possible and offers a pleasant route along a stream, "la Serpentine", and a lake, with an easy passage under a waterfall.
Northern circular of the Bois de Boulogne
An easy hike in the northern part of the Bois de Boulogne, starting from the Porte Dauphine, which will take you to several remarkable places: the tip of the Lac Inférieur, the "diagonale des ruisseaux" (GR®1), the entrance to Bagatelle Park, Mare Saint James and finally Frank Gehry's "Vaisseau de Verre" (the Fondation Vuitton building), before returning to your starting point.
From Parc de Saint-Cloud to Bois de Boulogne
A route through two wooded areas on either side of the Seine. From one large waterfall to another, from one racecourse to another, the hike alternates between paths and urban passages, flower beds and sculpted heritage, ponds and lakes.
Boulogne Park and the Menus neighbourhood
The Parc de Boulogne, not to be confused with the Bois du même nom, offers visitors the chance to discover its English-style park and Japanese garden. After visiting the park, you can stroll through the streets of the Menus district, the historic heart of Boulogne.
The Val de Seine between Saint-Cloud and Suresnes
A short urban walk, taking in hillsides, the banks of the Seine and a wooded park.
From Parc de Saint-Cloud to Porte Maillot (circular route)
A circular walk which, on the outward leg, follows the GR®1 from the Parc du Domaine National de Saint-Cloud to Porte Maillot, the starting point of the Tour de Paris. The GR®1 crosses the Seine before passing through the Bois de Boulogne. On the return leg, the route runs alongside the Lac Inférieur in the famous park and then follows the Seine to the Pont de Saint-Cloud.
From Longchamp to Auteuil, from one racecourse to another
A short hike that starts on a little-known path along the Seine. It then runs alongside the Longchamp racecourse and the Suresnes and Longchamp ponds. After a brief stop at the Grande Cascade, it reaches Lac Supérieur and explores its southern tip. The route ends with a crossing of the Auteuil racecourse, on days when there are no horse races, of course.
Over hill and dale in the Hauts-de-Seine
Although densely urbanised, the Hauts-de-Seine department offers wonderful opportunities for walkers, with a rich heritage and often a little elevation. This series of hikes, almost all of which are accessible by public transport, takes you on a journey of discovery through this department, avoiding major roads as much as possible and favouring footpaths and alleys, public parks and wooded areas.
