Moderate
Departure from Noisy-le-Grand (Seine-Saint-Denis)
A surprising walk which, on the map, looks very urban, but which, with very few exceptions, avoids tarmac roads. You’ll come across many remarkable buildings, passing from one green space to another – some landscaped (the Croissant Vert) and others wild (the Haute-Île) – and finish with a circular route along well-marked trails through the former gypsum quarries of Mont Guichet, which have been abandoned for decades.

Moderate
Departure from Noisiel (Seine-et-Marne)
A hike in three very different parts. From Noisiel station to Yvris station, the route is mainly wooded and damp in places. Then you cross Le Plessis-Trévise, avoiding the main roads but remaining in a very urbanised area. Finally, you follow the paths and lanes of Champigny before walking along the Marne.

14.10 mi
+105 ft
-262 ft
6h 35
Difficult
Departure from Noisiel (Seine-et-Marne)
An easy walk along very good paths or trails, with no significant elevation gain. The main attraction lies in passing through several beautiful, varied deciduous forests, whose most remarkable inhabitants are majestic oak trees. The oldest is at point (8). There are also a few castles along the route, and the church at Sucy, which is usually open and well worth a visit.The map shows several urban areas, but for much of these urban sections, the walk takes place along tree-lined avenues or through green corridors, making it easy to forget that you are ‘in town’.

Moderate
Departure from Noisiel (Seine-et-Marne)

Departure from Bry-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne)
The spread of Columbanian rule led to the establishment of more than forty monasteries in Western Europe. Queen Bathilde founded one of the most important women's abbeys in France in Chelles.
This second journey, or path of exile, was travelled by Columbanus and his compatriots between 610 and 613, from Paris to Rebais. It marked the beginning of a new journey eastwards to Bregenz on Lake Constance and then Bobbio.
