Étang de Boulogne walks

A route from station to station favouring green spaces (parks, forests, gardens and urban paths). After passing through the Parc de Saint-Cloud, crossing Marnes-la-Coquette and Vaucresson, the route winds through the woods and streets of La-Celle-Saint-Cloud and Louveciennes, then through the Parc de Marly before reaching L'Étang-la-Ville (Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche station / Forêt de Marly), via the forest and a few footpaths. It also allows you to reach several stations on the same line and to adjust the distance according to your fitness level, preferences and the weather.

A walk from station to station, favouring green spaces and quiet streets. After passing through Saint-Cloud Park, crossing Sèvres and Ville-d’Avray, the route runs alongside the Étangs de Ville-d’Avray before reaching Marly Park, following long stretches through woodland interspersed with more urban sections. Along the way, you’ll discover places steeped in history.

A short urban walk, taking in hillsides, the banks of the Seine and a wooded park.

A walk from station to station that crosses Parc de Saint-Cloud, with its ponds and sculptures, and the Fausses Reposes State Forest. Between the two, the village-like town of Marnes-la-Coquette adds a lovely touch of heritage, and the Jardy Stud Farm offers the chance to stroll amongst vast meadows and the facilities of a major equestrian centre.

For what will no doubt remain a long time to come, the names of Billancourt andÎleSeguin are associated with the Renault factories, which closed their doors in 1992. Boulogne-Billancourt’s industrial and working-class past is not limited to car manufacturing but also encompasses other sectors: laundries (to which we owe the fact that no railway line runs through the town), ice works, aeronautics, telecommunications equipment, cinema and the record industry… This urban walking tour, inspired by the brochure and information panels provided by the town’s Tourist Office, aims to retrace this working-class past. It also offers an opportunity to observe how the urban landscape of a town in the Petite Couronne of Paris has changed radically over the course of a few decades.

The municipality of Boulogne-Billancourt has commissioned an association to cover a wall approximately 200 metres long with murals. The main aim of this short urban walk is to admire these works of art, which may change over time. Before reaching them, you can see a few trompe-l’œil paintings indicating the direction of the city’s museums.

The route mainly follows the Seine towpath, close to the river, and should not be attempted during periods of high water. Many houseboats are permanently moored along the route, which ends at the foot of the impressive towers of La Défense. Do not undertake this trip when the Seine is in flood.

This hike first takes us up the hill of Saint-Cloud, then through the park of the same name with its gardens, flower beds, ponds and Greco-Roman-inspired statues. We then walk through a residential area with beautiful houses. After crossing the Bois de La Celle, we walk through the "village" of La Celle Saint-Cloud to reach Bougival station.

The Parc de Boulogne, not to be confused with the Bois du même nom, offers visitors the chance to discover its English-style park and Japanese garden. After visiting the park, you can stroll through the streets of the Menus district, the historic heart of Boulogne.

A route through two wooded areas on either side of the Seine. From one large waterfall to another, from one racecourse to another, the hike alternates between paths and urban passages, flower beds and sculpted heritage, ponds and lakes.
