Circular route in the Étrépilly plain without using any roads

de fr

A superb ride on horseback (at a walk: 45 mins, at a trot: 20 mins, at all three gaits: 20 mins) but also possible on foot (1 hour) or by bike (20 mins) through the fields. Most of the grassy paths are very well maintained; there are no roads to cross or use. A ride across the plateau; winds may be present in places; the route is fairly open, so take care in hot weather. Best enjoyed in the warmer months, as the section running alongside the marshes is impassable in winter; alternatively, take the northern section via the Étrépilly road in winter.

Description of the walk

Before entering Étrépilly, coming from the west, after passing Brunoy, park at the three-way junction on the right, by the iron cross (GPS 49.036562, 2.925309).

(S/E) Follow the road towards the village. Take the grassy/dirt track on the right, running alongside the marshes, to Rue du Pont des Planches.

(1) Just before reaching the street, turn right onto the grassy path that climbs towards the plain.

(2) Take the first grassy track on the right, on the La Fâche plot.

(3) Turn right onto the road. Continue along the road, passing between the Fontaine Saint-Laurent and the highest point of the plateau (116 m), then head back down to the car park (S/E), either via the small road or the grassy track running alongside it.

A superb ride on horseback (at a walk: 4 hours; at a trot: 3 hours; at three gaits: 1 hour 30 minutes) but also possible on foot (5 hours) or by bike (3 hours) through the fields, past roe deer and along the banks of the Thérouanne. Most of the paths are grassy or dirt tracks and very well maintained; there are a few roads to cross, but with good visibility, or to follow – though these are all fairly quiet roads, generally with grassy verges for safety. The route takes you across the plateaus; it can be windy in places, and the route is fairly open, so take care in hot weather. In the depths of winter, it’s a very pleasant walk, with all paths fully accessible.
