Departure from Bombon (Seine-et-Marne)
A picturesque walk starting from Bombon, a small, typical Briard village. The route goes round two châteaux, follows the Ru d’Ancœur (a peaceful little stream) and crosses woods and cultivated fields.
This walk is easy, but the section along the river can be muddy in winter. Please also be aware of hunting seasons.

There are several points of interest along this section, which is entirely forested: the tree at Carrefour des Longues Vallées, the rocks at Cuvier Chatillon, the viewpoint at Gorges d'Apremont and Gorges de Franchard (worth visiting if you don't mind walking a little further), as well as the Chapel of Prieuré Notre-Dame de Franchard and the church at Vaudoué.

Departure from Bois-le-Roi (Seine-et-Marne) (Seine-et-Marne)
The Fontainebleau Forest is one of the most beautiful forests in France thanks to its varied landscapes and, above all, its sandstone blocks. This hike, which passes through the Cuvier-Châtillon rocks, the Apremont gorges and the rocks of Mont Ussy, will allow you to appreciate all its beauty but also its fragility, due to both natural erosion and that caused by heavy human traffic, given its proximity to the Paris region.
