Église Saint-Crépin-et-Saint-Crépinien (Bréançon) walks

This is the eighth stage of the Grand Tour de l'Île-de-France on the GR®11, starting from Chars station in the Val d'Oise and heading towards Bornel-Belle-Église station in the Oise, through the north-eastern part of the French Vexin and the borders of the Pays de Thelle. This stage is unique in that it runs along the border between the Val d'Oise and Oise departments, with roughly 50% of the route on each side. The proposed itinerary passes through the Buttes de Rosne, the highest natural point in Île-de-France, although it deviates slightly from the GR® for this.

A hike from station to station with the Oise as the guiding thread. You will cross several wooded parks and follow the river for a long time, mostly on a right of way. At the end of the route, the passage through Auvers-sur-Oise is an opportunity to evoke the famous painter Vincent Van Gogh.

A hike starting from Valmondois towards the Château d'Ogivaux and the Moulin le Roy, then heading towards L'Isle-Adam through the woods. Walk along the left bank towards the new port of L'Isle-Adam, then around the lake, and continue along the banks of the Oise via the GR®1 greenway.

Half of the route takes you through the Forest of L'Isle-Adam. This hike from station to station offers other points of interest, including two covered walkways dating from the Neolithic period.

The ninth stage, entirely in the Oise department, of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France on the GR®11, between the stations of Bornel-Belle-Église in the Esches Valley and Cires-lès-Mello in the Thérain Valley. It consists of a crossing of the Pays de Thelle, from west to east, in the south of the department, and always through magnificent varied landscapes, between woods and fields.

A lovely walk along the banks of the Seine, passing through pretty villages such as Evecquemont. The starting point and finishing point are two stations on the same SNCF line.

Crossed by numerous waterways, the town of Chaumont-en-Vexin has been awarded the Petite Cité de Caractère label. Along the route, you can discover the rolling landscapes of the Vexin and the Troesne valley, with two megaliths along the way: the Dolmen des Trois-Pierres in Trie-Château and the Pierre Droite de Delincourt.

A lovely, flat route to enjoy at your leisure along the banks of the Oise, with a high point at the back of the Pays de Maurecourt offering magnificent views of the Oise. This region is even more beautiful when seen from the footpaths.

A hike from station to station which, with a few climbs, leads from the Seine valley to the Oise valley. After the streets, alleys and paths of Triel-sur-Seine and Chanteloup-les-Vignes, you cross the Hautil Forest in a very pleasant way. Three beautiful churches and two beautiful farmhouses are to be discovered along the way.

The walk begins with a very varied section of the GRP® "Impressionist Seine" trail, starting with the imposing ESA Ariane rocket factory and its loading dock, a charming marina, the Val de Seine leisure island, and several large ponds. It continues with Triel-sur-Seine, its pleasant Parc Senet, and its Église St-Martin with its complex architecture. The crossing of the Bois d'Hautil via easy but unspoilt paths is worth the detour for its chestnut forests dotted with a few beautiful oak trees and pierced by a large number of chasms resulting from the collapse of underground quarries. The walk ends peacefully as you admire the confluence of the Oise and the Seine.
