Collégien walks

A beautiful forest walk, easily accessible from an RER station. Two beautiful ponds, a few pools, the impressive Allée des Séquoias and the Totems de Taffarette are among the points of interest along the route, not to mention the superb oak trees that inhabit many sections of this forest.

Discover the Domaine de Rentilly with its three distinct landscaped areas: the English-style park, the French-style perspective and the forest, then continue your hike through the agricultural lands of the Vallon de Bussy-Saint-Martin, passing by the Broce and Loy ponds.

Discover some of the towns in the Val de Bussy (Ville Nouvelle de Marne-la-Vallée): Bussy-Saint-Martin with the Rentilly Cultural Park, Bussy-Saint-Georges with its footpaths and alleys reserved for pedestrians, Guermantes and its castle, Conches-sur-Gondoire and Gouvernes. The varied route alternates between countryside and urban areas where pedestrians have plenty of space.

This hike takes you through the various parks and gardens, woods and ponds of Val Maubuée (Lognes, Torcy, Noisiel and Champs s/Marne), from station to station between Lognes and Noisiel.There are some beautiful views along the way, including ponds, the Menier chocolate factory and Noisiel Park. Please note: check the opening times of Noisiel Park (see "Practical Information" below).Picnics are permitted in the park.

This is a circular route starting from the Bussy-Saint-Georges RER station. The landscape is varied, combining forests, fields, ponds, rivers and a few urban areas, not to mention the large Rentilly Park with its château, which hosts exhibitions, concerts and all kinds of cultural events.

A half-day hike in the Ferrières Forest, starting with the majestic Allée des Lions, passing by the Étang de Taffarette and skirting the huge grounds of the Château de Ferrières. The second part may be a little muddy.

This part of the Marne Valley is home to the Vaires-sur-Marne Regional Leisure Centre and the Parc de la Haute-Ile in Neuilly-sur-Marne. Its appeal lies in the variety of landscapes dominated by the presence of water. The proposed route can be broken down into three hikes of different lengths (8km, 13km or 22km) depending on the time you have available. Even the shortest hike allows you to discover interesting sites.

Val Maubuée is one of the areas of the new town of Marne-la-Vallée. This walk takes you through the different areas that make up the town: apartment blocks, housing estates, parks and gardens, woods and forests, wetlands and ponds. There are beautiful views to enjoy along the way.

A beautiful walk from station to station (RER line A) along the landscaped banks of the Marne. This walk can be done in either direction.

A hike in three very different parts. From Noisiel station to Yvris station, the route is mainly wooded and damp in places. Then you cross Le Plessis-Trévise, avoiding the main roads but remaining in a very urbanised area. Finally, you follow the paths and lanes of Champigny before walking along the Marne.

This hike takes you through the rural valley of Ru de Bouillon (in the commune of Pomponne). It continues on the heights of Thorigny-sur-Marne, notably along the Promenade de la Dhuis, and ends with a long stretch on the right bank of the Marne opposite Lagny-sur-Marne.

The forests of Ferrières and Armainvilliers are contiguous over a very long stretch from east to west. They form the largest wooded area in eastern Paris. It is a single humid forest with very little relief, dotted with ponds. It is renowned for mushroom picking. This hike allows you to discover the tree species that make up the forest: oak (sessile and pedunculate), ash, lime, maple, cherry, service, etc.

A hike from station to station, crossing the Ferrières Regional Forest and then the Armainvilliers National Forest. Wide paths alternate with more winding trails. There are a few ponds along the way.

A hike dominated by water, with a long stretch along the Marne towpath and crossing two wetlands on boardwalks. After a nice touch of industrial heritage at the former Menier chocolate factory, you cross Noisiel Park on wide paths in search of some remarkable trees.

A circular walk from Lagny-Thorigny station, with a beautiful variety of landscapes. Beautiful view of the Marne valley from the cute little village of Carnetin. Chalifert tunnel and lock. And the exceptional Dhuys sculpture garden, which alone is worth the trip.
