Église Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul (Ablis) walks

The last section, from Pont sous Gallardon to Chartres, is the highlight of the route. The Beauce plain appears flat, but its many undulations reveal and conceal the spires and nave of the cathedral in turn. The Chemin Charles Péguy was created by the Amitié Charles Péguy with the cooperation of all the municipalities crossed and the support of the Eure-et-Loir Departmental Council.

A hike from station to station, crossing the Dourdan Forest, the Bois de Saint-Benoît, the Bois de Pinceloup and the southern part of the Rambouillet Forest. Several lakes adorn the route and the church of Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines adds a superb touch of heritage.

The Orge river runs through the Essonne department, first from west to east and then diagonally from south-west to north-east. This route follows the valley as closely as possible, where it is accessible by train. The route alternates between paths along the river, including a promenade on the last two stages, passages through woodland, residential areas and urban routes.

This stage is the last of the GR®1 and is over 30 km long. It crosses the western part of the Rambouillet Forest. The entire stage is through forest, except for the crossing of Saint-Léger-en-Yvelines. The route connects two towns with a rich history: Dourdan and Rambouillet. There are many straight lines on this route, which is mainly flat. There are a few notable ponds at the end of the route, such as the Étang de la Tour and the Étang d'Or.

A south-north crossing of the Rambouillet and Quatre Piliers forests, from station to station! The route, mainly through forest, is long and requires a good sense of direction for the first half. Several ponds and remarkable trees line the route.

The Rambouillet Forest is one of the largest forests in the Paris region. This section ofthe GR®®1 trailallows you to explore the western part of the forest. It is full of charm and features remarkable sites such as the Chêne de la Pocqueterie oak tree, the Rochers d'Angennes rocks and the Pierre Ardoue stone. The route starts in a town with great cultural potential, including the Château de Rambouillet, the Hermitage, the Laiterie de la Reine and the Chaumière aux Coquillages.

This route is the second of four sections of the Charles Péguy Trail: Lozère (Palaiseau) - Chartres via Dourdan. It follows in the footsteps of the poet Charles Péguy, who celebrated his two pilgrimages (made in 1912 and 1913, each lasting four days there and back) in a poem that remains famous to this day. This is the transition stage: from the valleys and rolling hills of Hurepoix to the Beauce plateau.

A hike from station to station with a water theme! In the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Natural Park and then in the Rambouillet Forest, this is a pleasant route, mostly shaded, along ponds, small canals and a charming river, the Drouette.

A hike from station to station that will take you through the forest of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Nature Park. Ponds, castle, forest, ramparts and museum: everything you need for a wonderful day out with family or friends.

Hike in the Rambouillet forest, but in the lesser-known and less frequented part. The Rochers d'Angennes are impressive; you don't expect to find yourself in a blue-collar atmosphere in this place. Hike from station to station with a fast TER at the end, if returning to Paris.
