Courthiézy walks

A circular walk starting from Passy-sur-Marne, taking in vineyards, châteaux, villages, the banks of the Marne and wash houses, not forgetting the military cemetery and the Dormans Memorial 1914-1918. A busy day steeped in history.

This is a unique little hike that will allow you to discover the Dhuis aqueduct and visit Condé-en-Brie, its castle and its historic centre.

In the footsteps of Léon-Augustin-Lhermitte, painter of the peasants of Champagne, late 19th century. Walk up Mont-Saint-Père, passing by the Gland orientation table, then stroll along the Marne to finish up on the Chartèves hillside, a nature reserve where you can find around thirty plant species (orchids, etc.) and invertebrate fauna (spotted salamanders) and insectivorous birds.

Historical walk from Jean de La Fontaine to the memorial commemorating the first engagements of the American army in 1918, passing through the Champagne vineyards.

Take a stroll through La Fontaine country, passing by the First World War memorial and ending up between the sky and the Champagne vineyards.

This short walk will take you through the woods to the Abbey of Notre-Dame d'Igny. If you linger at the abbey, allow half a day.

A stroll through peaceful countryside just an hour from Paris, where you will find fortified castles, a 12th-century church and an American cemetery from the First World War.

During this easy walk (a gentle climb at the start and a descent at the end), discover the many ponds in the Boursault forest.

A hike through the woods to discover bluebells, the village of Villeneuve-sur-Fère where Paul Claudel lived, and a visit to the Hottée du Diable (a unique rock erosion site).

A short hike around the town of Montmirail. You will have the opportunity to discover the heritage of the surrounding area and the castle, which is an integral part of the town. This is a walk that can be enjoyed with the whole family.

Near the Ourcq Valley, on a hillock in the middle of fields, stands a monument commissioned to celebrate the victory of the Second Battle of the Marne but which, instead of glorifying the victors, pays tribute to those who died or went missing in the Great War. This work by sculptor Paul Landowski is the main destination of this memorial hike. Three beautiful churches, dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, complete the picture.

In the hills above the Petit Morin Valley, this is a rural route where you rarely lose sight of the massive bell towers of the former abbey church of Vendières or the partly ruined church of L'Epine-aux-Bois.

A stroll through the Champagne countryside to discover First World War cemeteries, old wash houses and churches.

A hike in a bucolic setting with varied landscapes. We start by climbing above the Petit Morin Valley and end the hike with a pleasant walk along this pretty river.

This is a route rich in discoveries: the castles of Congy and Étoges, the Champagne vineyards, and above all the magnificent menhir of the Étang de Chènevry. Vineyards, woods and crops with magnificent views of the nearby marshes of Saint Gond. No technical difficulties except for a little mud in wet weather.
