Château de La Houssaye-en-Brie walks
The Crécy Forest circular starting from Mortcerf
This circular allows you to enjoy the beautiful forests, mainly oak, of the Crécy Forest. Three-quarters of the route is in the woods, while the rest takes you through two charming villages, each with a remarkable castle and an elegant church. A few other points of interest are indicated, including the memorial to the poet Étienne Jodelle (1532-1573), a contemporary of the much better-known Pierre Ronsard.
The forest was very lively when I visited (at the end of December): despite a large wild boar hunt in progress, I saw three deer (in three different places) and a fox.
The GPX track can be very useful in the forest, given the various changes in direction.
