Ermenonville walks

From Jean-Jacques Rousseau Park to the druidic stones in the forest...

This hike is mainly in the forest, favouring trails in hilly terrain. The circuit passes through large pine forests with undergrowth of heather and ferns providing a beautiful variety of colours. The ground is often very sandy, making it easy to hike in winter.
