Dimancheville walks

Route through the Gâtinais countryside in Dimancheville (45), the smallest municipality in the canton of Puiseaux. The route runs alongside several properties (Orville mill, Augerville-la-Rivière castle park) and returns, across fields, to the municipality of Dimancheville along the Malesherbes - Puiseaux railway line. This route presents no particular difficulties.

A pleasant trail through woods and fields that climbs to the heights of Briarres-sur-Essonne, where the sheep pastures offer a magnificent panorama of the Essonne valley. A bucolic passage along the banks of the Essonne.

Before motorisation, milling was highly developed along the banks of the Essonne. This hike sets out to discover no fewer than five old water mills, whose presence has been documented since the 18th century. The route along the river is full of charm and the numerous reed beds add a touch of natural heritage to this very diverse hike.

A bucolic trail through woods, bordering the large estate of Augerville-la-Rivière, with its château and golf course. A footpath is accessible in the park. This hike takes you through the picturesque village of Orville with its wash house and mill.

This urban route is exclusively intramural, exploring all the existing squares in the town of Puiseaux, in northern Loiret. It is a route without any particular difficulty.

The Gatinais trail leads through woods and fields, heading first to the hamlet of Le Pont. In the second half, the passage through the Chatillon valley offers pleasant views of Puiseaux.

Mainly a country trail that passes through the hills of Bardilly and offers a panoramic view of the Gâtinais. No particular difficulty.

This route offers magnificent and varied landscapes between Beauce and Gâtinais, with hills and beautiful panoramas, the green Essonne valley, woods, cereal and beet fields, imposing farms and mills. This is a long route that requires a good level of fitness.

Welcome to the Buthiers Leisure Island. This discovery hike was specially created for a Year7 integration trip. Relatively easy and easily adaptable, it will allow you to have a great time. It allows you to discover all the landscapes of the Fontainebleau forest around the base and, of course, to observe the many activities on offer there.

A very bucolic trail between the banks of the Rimarde with a few private mills, woods on the heights of Les Vaux, valleys on La Couture and Vautaupin (alternative route). Many varied landscapes. Pass by the mysterious fountain of Saint-Amand in the village of La Neuville-sur-Essonne.

Taking place almost entirely in the Gâtinais Français Regional Nature Park, this stage follows the course of the Essonne river for quite a long time, sometimes on the right bank, sometimes on the left bank. The only section through fields is when leaving Buno-Bonnevaux. The rest of the route is unique in that it runs through woodland, with some parts reminiscent of the Forest of Fontainebleau with pine trees, sandstone outcrops and sandy areas. This hike can be divided into four sections as it passes not far from the stations of Boigneville, Buno-Gironville and Maisse.

On the edge of the Ile-de-France region, this hike from station to station follows the Essonne Valley from south to north. It takes forest paths, small roads with little traffic and paths between fields. This route allows you to discover an interesting heritage: mills, churches and castles, as well as a menhir and a polisher that attest to the ancient human occupation of the area.

The route starts at the church in Bromeilles, nicknamed the Mont Saint-Michel of the Gatinais as it is perched on a hilltop and its bell tower can be seen from a great distance. The route passes through fields and woods, offering a beautiful view of the village of Puiseaux from the Butte Jaune.

Around Malesherbes, a 29 km route along paths and lanes. Numerous small ponds dot the route.

We pass on either side of a valley where the beautiful village of Boissy-aux-Cailles is located, following paths wide enough to walk two abreast while chatting, or trails in single file. The variety of tree species is surprising: oak, chestnut, birch, beech, pine, etc. And also on the edges of agricultural fields where lavender grows alongside beetroot and cereals.The best times to enjoy it to the full are late spring (May-June), when the flora dazzles us with its colours and scents, and autumn (mid-September-October), when the leaves of the trees are adorned with their yellow, ochre and red colours and accompanied by the rich and subtle smells of mushrooms and sometimes game.

The fortress of Yèvre-le-Châtel overlooks the Œuf and Rimarde valleys, rivers that originate in the Forest of Orléans. From Yèvre-le-Châtel, the hike follows paths through the wide green belt that runs alongside each of the three rivers.
