Boissy-Saint-Léger walks

Discover, or rediscover, the Grand Paris Sud Est Avenir area by exploring its various walking routes, which showcase the main points of interest and the treasures—sometimes little-known—of our 16 municipalities, each with their own unique and distinctive histories.

A surprisingly green walk, mostly passing through a succession of forests, numerous parks and other green corridors. It also takes you through the history of the centuries preceding our own, thanks to the architectural legacy they left behind, some of whose monuments have fortunately been well preserved, such as the Château de Sucy or the Château de Haute Maison, whilst others reveal only their outbuildings, such as the Château du Piple, or have left nothing but ruins, such as the Château du Grand Val. 

This long hike goes from one RER A station to another. It begins with a climb in Boissy Saint-Léger but the rest is flat. We start with a circular walk through the Gros-Bois Forest, then the main part of the walk takes us through the Notre-Dame Forest. We alternate between wide avenues and footpaths, with a wide variety of trees. The walk ends with a long, gently sloping green corridor and a walk through Morbras Park. Several alternative routes allow you to shorten the route.

The first part of this hike from station to station is mainly through forest, with a mix of wide paths and winding trails. Then you follow the course of the Yerres, playing leapfrog with the river, its branches and tributaries.

A hike that is mostly in the forest and partly in urban areas. You will take well-maintained forest paths, a green corridor and the "Végétale" path built above a TGV tunnel.

A hike from station to station, half urban, notably through the paths and alleys of Sucy-en-Brie, and half forest.

This walk starts at the “La Végétale” station on Cable Car 1, crosses the Forêt de la Grange via the Château du Maréchal de Saxe and the Étoile de Bellevue, then follows the Végétale to Villecresnes, before following the courses of the Réveillon and the Yerres to reach Caillebotte Park, where the painter lived. The walk continues with the ascent of Mont-Griffon, the highest point in the area, before returning.

Hike from Marolles-en-Brie, taking the old Chemin des Roses (former railway line to Paris Bastille, which carried passengers and roses to Les Halles). Discover Servon, its church and its château (Anne Boleyn is said to have lived here with her aunt in the 16th century).

Starting from Yerres, this circular walk takes you through the La Grange forest, passing through the centre of Limeil-Brevannes and then Valenton. The return journey is mostly along the "Végétale", a greenway that passes under the C1 cable car linking Villeneuve-Saint-Georges to Créteil.

This walk starts in Crosne, goes through the Grange Forest and then through the town of Yerres before reaching Park Caillebotte where the painter lived. The walk goes along the Yerres River and finishes by going alongside the communal gardens in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges.

An urban route starting along Lake Créteil from its southern tip to its northern tip, set amongst lawns and reed beds. You then cross, via footpaths, the ‘Du Chou et des Épis’ neighbourhood, with its cylindrical tower blocks featuring original designs, and the University district. The end of the route takes you to Maisons-Alfort via the Juliottes neighbourhood.

The circular route passes through two Briard villages and American-style residences before reaching the Servon ponds, a great place for a picnic. The landscape is very varied, with woods, fields, an equestrian centre and a river punctuating the route.

A short hike in the Notre Dame woods. Please note that theGR® is a little muddy when it rains.

A varied walk from market gardeners to early 20th-century holiday homes.
