Departure from Chaville (Hauts-de-Seine)
A beautiful, challenging hike in the forest, just a stone's throw from Paris. Choose between 25 km or 35 km, with 700 and 900 m of elevation gain respectively. Despite a few urban sections, most of the route is in the heart of the forest, shaded by deciduous trees. The forest is beautiful, and there are some lovely views, but the appeal is more athletic than touristy.
The route includes many quick changes of direction, making it difficult to follow without GPS.
The entire route is less than 10 km from the western part of Paris.

The second section of the women's march of 5 October 1789 takes more liberties with the supposed route of the procession at the time.
