Departure from Chaussy (Val-d'Oise) (Val-d'Oise)
This is a ten-kilometre route starting from La Bergerie de Villarceaux in the commune of Chayssy (Val d'Oise) and passing through Genainville. For fans of naturist hiking (known as randonue to those in the know), certain sections of this route can be covered completely naked (from (2) to (8) and from (9) to (S/E). Although encounters are possible, the risk is minimal. Don't forget to bring something to cover yourself with (shorts, sarong, etc.) so as not to shock anyone you might meet. Always be courteous and explain your naturist approach. This hike can of course be done fully clothed. The start and finish are at the Bergerie de Villarceaux. There is a small car park just at the start of the hike. There is no public transport to the Bergerie de Villarceaux.

Departure from Genainville (Val-d'Oise)
Seventh stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France on the GR®11, starting from the village of Genainville, in the heart of the French Vexin, and heading towards Chars station further east. This stage goes hand in hand with the previous Mantes-Genainville stage, with a night in Genainville or the surrounding area necessary to walk between Mantes and Chars stations. This beautiful stage continues the crossing of the equally magnificent French Vexin Regional Nature Park, heading generally eastwards. It joins andthen climbs up the Aubette de Magny valley, crosses a series of agricultural plateaus between Oise and Val d'Oise before descending into the Viosne valley to reach Chars.

Departure from Cléry-en-Vexin (Val-d'Oise)
The walk takes you through a string of pretty villages, each with its own church boasting distinctive architecture and, for the most part, also home to a castle, the most remarkable of which are those at Guiry-en-Vexin, Théméricourt and Viry. There are also several museums along the route: the Archaeological Museum, the Tools Museum, the Harvest Museum and the Maison du Parc.It is also an opportunity to admire the open landscapes of this very hilly French Vexin region, where fields, meadows and forests intermingle. The calcareous meadows are particularly striking in spring due to the abundance of flowers found there.

Halfway along the route, there are several possible visits in Giverny, where the painter lived and worked from 1883 until his death in 1926. At the end of the hike, the collegiate church of Vernon is worth a detour.
