Condé-sur-Marne walks

This hike will allow you to discover the route of the CBR (Chemins de fer de la Banlieue de Reims) with beautiful views of the Champagne plain. You can discover Les Faux de Verzy without taking the overly crowded tourist route. Circular hike possible at the Observatoire du Sinaï with a spectacular view of the valley.

Walk through the Montagne de Reims Forest, half through the woodland and half along a track suitable for vehicles.

This route leads through vineyards and woods to two of the region’s attractions: the Tour Brisset and the Faux de Verzy. Part of the route is easy as it is signposted, but another part is not, and requires the use of the Visorando app or a map. Without the detour via the Faux de Verzy, the walk is 15 km. Update May 2026: the paths at the end of the route, in the “La plaine d’Ambonnay” area, have been devastated by forestry machinery. They are barely passable, as they are full of water and ruts. You’ll need good shoes and the app to get through. There is a ‘No Entry’ sign at the finish point at the Tour Brisset.

This three-hour walk will take you to Mont Aigu, where you will have a beautiful view of the plain.

This is a lovely 21 km hike through vineyards and forests. It follows theGR®141(the old Roman road Via Campaniensis) and theGR®14, which makes it relatively easy to follow. There is no return to the starting point. Leave your cars at Avenay-Val-d'Or station and return by TER train from Rilly-la-Montagne. Although you are following the Camino de Santiago, it is wonderfully peaceful. During the week, apart from one or two foresters, you will only encounter deer.

Located in the Verzy national forest, the Faux de Verzy are well worth a visit! The twisted beech trees and a hollow oak tree will capture your attention. During your hike, you will feel as if you have stepped into the Forest of Brocéliande.

This is an easy, semi-sporting hike (if you walk at a good pace on the first part) and a semi-cultural one, offering beautiful views of the Champagne plain and a natural curiosity of the region: trees that grow in a twisted manner, the Faux de Verzy.

This is a short walk full of surprises: a pretty manor house in the woods, an ancient Roman road, and part of the Via Campaniensis, the Way of St James from Rocroi to Vézelay, where you often meet pilgrims.

Short hike on the northern balcony of the Reims mountain, discovering the grand cru vineyard and its national forest.

A short historical walk through the woods along the old CBR (Reims Suburban Railways) line and part of the Way of St James. After a good warm-up, you’ll encounter the walk’s only challenging section, which will take you up to the Montagne de Reims plateau, where the rest of the walk is then an easy stroll.

This hike begins in the Champagne hills and gradually descends into the heart of the Montagne de Reims forest via some very pleasant trails. The end of the route descends from the forest plateau to finish on the old CBR (Chemin de la Banlieue Rémoise) with a lovely view of the village of Verzenay and its hillsides.

This lovely forest walk in Rilly-la-Montagne is ideal for families and nature lovers who want to stretch their legs on a simple and pleasant route. We did it with a baby in a baby carrier, so it was no problem (however, it is not suitable for pushchairs).

Everythird weekend in July, Les Secrets du Petit Bonhomme are given a new twist, allowing you to explore the village of Rilly-la-Montagne via the existingPR79 trail with a few variations. Interesting viewpoints, a link between the forest, the village and the vineyards, and features related to the village’s floral displays. Route available all year round, except in the forest during the hunting season.
