Departure from Villers-Cotterêts (Aisne)
The fourteenth stage, entirely within the Aisne department, of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR® 11, between Villers-Cotterêts and La Ferté-Milon stations. During this stage, we cross over to the eastern side of Île-de-France, leaving the Oise basin to reach the Ourcq valley and the Marne basin.As this stage is short, a short (optional) circular route through Villers-Cotterêts is suggested as a prelude, to explore the magnificent grounds of its equally magnificent château. This circular route could also be undertaken following the previous stage completed the day before, with an overnight stay in Villers-Cotterêts.
