Bouffémont walks

A circular loop from station to station accessible via line H. Starting from the town of Bouffémont, it takes you into the Montmorency Forest and on to the Château de la Chasse and its pond. Before and after the château, the route follows various forest trails in the shade of century-old trees.

A very beautiful route from station to station in the Montmorency Forest, based in part on four themed trails: “Le Sentier des Lisières”, “Le Sentier de la Reine Hortense” and “Le Chemin des Philosophes” described on the Saint-Leu-la-Forêt tourist information website, plus “Taverny par les Sentes”. Thanks to a number of information boards, the route allows you to trace the region’s ancient and more recent history, admire many of its most interesting sites, and even engage in a bit of philosophy. It can easily be shortened to 18 km by avoiding the return trip to the Statue of Notre-Dame de France at the start of the walk.

A walk in the larger Val d'Oise forest, located only 20 kilometres north of Paris. Chestnut trees are plentiful in this hilly area with ponds and historical sites. A walk to the southwest border will let you discover some interesting features of the local heritage.
