The Crécy Forest circular starting from Mortcerf

Difficult
Departure from Mortcerf (Seine-et-Marne)
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.

An original route from south to north, more rural than wooded, passing through interesting villages. The zigzag route makes it easy to shorten for those intimidated by the distance: we recommend cutting from point to point, which allows you to visit all the villages along the route, reducing the distance to less than 20 km. Only the aqueduct section would then be left out.The start and finish are accessible by bus from the Chessy-Marne-la-Vallée RER-TGV station, or by train.
