Constant lived (after largely destroying it...) The walk mainly follows marked paths (PR® at the start, thenGR®1andGR® 655). Very peaceful despite the proximity of Paris.

The Carnelle National Forest is a forest located on a hill 25 km north of Paris. Its summit (altitude 210 m) is one of the highest points in the Val d'Oise.

This hike follows part of the northern flank of the forest, allowing you to discover some interesting features of the forest and its surroundings.

After passing through Noisy-sur-Oise, a village overlooking the Oise Valley, the GR®1 enters the Carnelle Forest, runs alongside Lac Bleu and passes near the covered walkway at La Pierre Turquaise. On the return leg, the route runs alongside the three lakes of the Carnelle Forest. Before arriving at the station, the route offers a chance to discover one of Viarmes’ many wash houses.

A circular walk starting from the Château de la Reine Blanche and the Étangs de Comelles in the Chantilly Forest, passing through Mongresin (Orry-la-Ville) and the barn of the former Comelle Abbey . The Château de la Reine Blanche and the Étangs de Comelles are among the most remarkable sites in the Chantilly Forest.

From Château de la Borne Blanche to Abbaye d'Hérivaux, between ponds and forest.

One abbey, two castles, two churches, one river, one lake, three rural villages and the Forest of Coye. In 1140 , Ascelin, known as "the Hermit", lord of Marly-la-Ville , left his castle in Marly and retired to this then inhospitable place (locum horroris et vaste solituninis) called Herremivallis, the hermit's valley. He already owned part of the land, and the Counts of Beaumont and Clermont willingly ceded the rest to him. Joined by other companions, they cleared the land located in a wooded depression forming a valley through which several springs flowed, and founded the Abbey of Hérivaux.

A hike alternating between countryside, forest and villages. The route passes in front of Hérivaux Castle, the abbey and the remains of an old 13th-century mill (a marker indicates the location of the mill). Cross the village of Bellefontaine with the banks of the Ysieux and the lake.

A walk from station to station, through fields, woods and villages in the Goële plain. The route is punctuated by numerous crossings of the River Biberonne, a few ponds and some beautiful churches.

A very pleasant hike in a forest area consisting mainly of coppice woodland, which is ideal for game. Encounters with large animals such as wild boar, roe deer, does and stags are therefore quite frequent. Don't hesitate to take your camera with you.

This hike around the Commelles ponds and the town of Lamorlaye begins south of the Chantilly Forest. It then crosses the residential area of Le Lys, continues through the Coye Forest and ends on the botanical trail along the ponds.

Eleventh stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, connecting Chantilly-Gouvieux station to the village of Borest, reached by crossing the Chantilly estate, the Chantilly and Ermenonville forests, with a detour through the historic centre of Senlis and, optionally, a moment of reflection in front of the memorial to the victims of the March 1974 plane crash. The route follows, more or less closely, the Nonette River, which is crossed several times. The route for this stage is almost entirely in the forest, with little elevation gain, making it a very pleasant hike, and the crossings of Chantilly and Senlis add a rich touch of heritage. This stage requires an overnight stay to avoid laborious car manoeuvres. It is therefore the first of two consecutive stages, both entirely within the Oise department, between the Chantilly-Gouvieux and Crépy-en-Valois railway stations.

This forest is steeped in history, as Saint Louis and Blanche of Castile used to walk here. It takes its name from the Celtic root "Carn", meaning stone, as some of its covered paths contain the remains of Neolithic tribes who came from the north. The exploitation of gypsum and marl gave rise to two ponds: the Petit Étang and the Lac Bleu.

Chantilly is the largest racehorse training centre in Europe. The forest is criss-crossed by numerous galloping tracks that are usable all year round thanks to the quality of the sand.

Beautiful views of the château, the Grandes Écuries and the Canal Saint-Jean add to the charm of the circuit.

This route is mainly through woodland, allowing you to explore the woods and golf courses around Chantilly and offering beautiful views of the Château de Chantilly estate.

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 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.
