Bois de Vincennes walks

On the outskirts of Paris, a walk in three stages. First, a stroll along the banks of Lac Daumesnil and its islands, which are home to many birds. Next, a walk through the Bois de Vincennes along the Ruisseau de la Gravelle to the famous racecourse. Finally, a pleasant walk along the towpath of the Marne.

A hike in the Bois de Vincennes. Starting from the Kiosque de Gravelle, after a circular loop through the Arboretum, enjoy a panoramic view of Vincennes from the Belvédère du Bois. Walk along the Allée Royale with a view of the château and return to the car park via the small paths.

In the eastern suburbs of Paris, along the route taken by Saint Columbanus, we find all the signs of the Columbanian influence that shaped our countryside and landscapes. The first part of our 26km route through the Île-de-France region is flat, allowing us to take the time to visit the jewels revealed by the churches of Paris, as well as the towns that witnessed the birth of the monasteries that punctuate the route.

An 11 km walk with a shaded route, some unusual discoveries in the Bois de Vincennes and facilities dedicated to culture and sport. At the end of the walk, you can enjoy a drink at the UCPA equestrian centre.

A pleasant route through the Bois de Vincennes, along four lakes and streams. There are other things to discover if you want to extend your walk. You may be lucky enough to spot Victor, the grey heron, between Lac de Gravelle and the Château de Vincennes.
