Gare de Beynes walks

A fairly easy walk from station to station, the first part of which is through woodland where you can admire superb specimens of various species of deciduous trees, particularly beeches and oaks, which are certainly over a hundred years old. You also pass close to the Alluets-le-Roi telecommunications centre and its many antennas of all types.The second part, which is more varied, includes a visit to the ruins of Abbecourt Abbey and the centres of the villages of Orgeval and Villennes-sur-Seine with their churches. The walk ends with a pleasant stroll along the banks of the Seine.

Fourth stage of the Grand Tour de l'Île-de-France on the GR® 11 and start of the clockwise circular section.This stage takes place entirely in the Yvelines department, connecting Villiers-Neauphle-Pontchartrain station to Orgerus-Béhoust station, crossing the Beynes forest and the agricultural landscapes of the Yvelines. The route runs alongside the Avre aqueduct, which supplies drinking water to western Paris.

This stage is the last of the old GR®1 route. The departure point is at Villiers-Saint-Frédéric, at the RER station. The entire route is rural. It passes through several villages, including Saint-Germain-la-Grange, Thiverval-Grignon and Davron. There are two notable churches: those of Davron and Thiverval-Grignon, not to mention Feucherolles. This is an undemanding section that allows you to finish the GR®1 at a leisurely pace.

A hike from station to station that crosses the Marly National Forest and then the Tailles d'Herbelay Departmental Forest. It then offers a visit to the charming town centre of Chambourcy and a short walk in the Saint-Germain-en-Laye National Forest. The route ends in Poissy, where you can admire the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame and the remains of the Old Bridge over the Seine.

A walk from station to station that crosses the Marly State Forest, then Marly Park and finally the Louveciennes Forest. The route ends in Vaucresson, in an urban setting.

Fifth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France on the GR®11, connecting Orgerus-Béhoust station to Mantes-Station, still through the Yvelines. This is a northbound route that joins the Seine valley at Mantes-la-Jolie, descending the valleys of the Flexanville and then the Vaucouleurs rivers. The route follows both paths at the bottom of the valley and paths on the adjacent plateaus.

This is the thirty-fourth and final stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11. It starts in Coignières and ends in Villiers-Saint-Frédéric, where the radial section of the GR® coming from Paris meets the circular section, which will therefore be completed here. The route follows, more or less closely, the course of the Mauldre River, passing through Bazoches-sur-Guyonne, Mareil-le-Guyon and Neauphle-le-Vieux.

Hike along the Yvette river, with its wash houses, passing by the Château de la Madeleine. The route also passes through a forest in a former sandstone quarry.

A hike from station to station, most of which takes place in the Forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, which we cross from south-west to north-east. It is an opportunity to walk through forests of various species and to come across two ancient crosses and two oratories. The route ends with a water theme, at the confluence of the Seine and the Oise.

A walk from station to station, mainly through woodland. The route alternates between wide, signposted paths and less-used trails where a good sense of direction is useful. Along the way, there are lovely woodland scenes, several remarkable trees and an old 18th-century cross.
