Departure and return to Château d'Ecouen, a beautiful Renaissance castle; start of the walk in the woods, then across fields. End of the hike on a pleasant paved path.

Description up to "5" while on the map only "4" points and therefore at the Chauffour crossroads: "1" on the map, "2" on the description!!! In any case, because of the "S/E" signage and the lack of precision regarding this point... we did the route in the other direction!!! Which we didn't mind too much. But the discrepancy between the points is still there!
A review of this hike, especially at the start, would seem appropriate to us!

The description of this Ecouen/Ezanville hike is very poorly explained.
References such as " Turn right towards the gas installation " are unclear, and what is a gas installation?
The walk also goes through urban areas, which isn't very nice. Really disappointing.
I strongly advise against it.
I have very bad memories of this hike, even though it's a great site!

I might do it again, but without this description!

No particular difficulties, as described. Monotonous at the end of the route due to the long straight stretch and the noise of aeroplanes every two minutes.

Much of the hike is in the open air on very flat terrain, which is not particularly interesting, with the added bonus of the constant noise of planes taking off from Roissy. The walk also passes through urban areas, which are not very attractive. Really very disappointed. I strongly advise against it.

The wooded section is pleasant to walk through. The section across the fields is not very picturesque and rather monotonous. The end of the route through the fields is even disappointing due to the poorly maintained path. Worth doing to visit the castle and museum, even if it means shortening the route.

A pleasant walk starting from Ecouen Castle, which can easily be combined with a visit to the museum. However, please note that the museum closes between 12:45 p.m. and 2 p.m., then again at 5:15 p.m. It is therefore best to plan your visit for the morning, around 10:30–11 a.m., BEFORE setting off on your walk.
The walk takes 2½ hours at a brisk pace.
Important detail: the route is located on the flight path for planes taking off from Roissy. So, avoid it if you want the peace and quiet of the countryside, as planes fly overhead constantly, and that was on a Sunday!
And note: when leaving the car park, just take the dead-end road (where buses turn around).

Lovely visit to the castle, then hike to Le Mesnil Aubry. No difficulty!

Thank you, MANADIA1975
We can't do anything about the bad weather, but we can improve the description if you give us some interesting suggestions.

The route was made difficult by adverse weather conditions and the directions were unclear, making us unsure about which path to take. At the end, we were able to visit the castle.

Not much of interest on this walk. Plus, you're often under planes (heading for Roissy). A little detour to the church at Mesnil Aubry would have been nice.

A pleasant route, except for the stretch through Ezanville, which is of no interest whatsoever...
Completed in 2 hours 45 minutes without pushing myself.
Best done in the morning to enjoy the magnificent view of Ecouen Castle.
