Departure from Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine)
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.

Departure from 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.
