Gare de Combs-la-Ville - Quincy walks

A pleasant walk along two rivers, the Yerres and the Réveillon. You completely forget the nearby urban environment.

Named after Acionna, the Gallo-Roman goddess of rivers, the Essonne flows through the north of the Loiret department and the south of the Île-de-France region. The first five stages follow its course downstream, while the last four follow it upstream. These nine stages are accessible by train. One stage, which is not accessible by train, forms a circular route upstream. The route alternates between paths along the river, passages through woods and those across cultivated plateaus.

The first part of this hike from station to station is mainly through forest, with a mix of wide paths and winding trails. Then you follow the course of the Yerres, playing leapfrog with the river, its branches and tributaries.

A hike from station to station, half urban, notably through the paths and alleys of Sucy-en-Brie, and half forest.

This last stage of the journey along the Essonne offers many opportunities to play leapfrog with the river. It is obviously the stage with the most urban sections. The town of Corbeil-Essonnes reveals its rich religious, civil and industrial heritage.

This hike takes you through the forests of Armainvilliers and Ferrières, where you can discover many species of trees and the Sequoia Avenue. The route then continues to the Taffarette Pond, where you can stop for a picnic in a relaxing and pleasant setting. See the old laundry room of the Château de Ferrières and its wash house, as well as the Church of Saint-Rémy. The route ends with a walk through the forest to Roissy-Brie station, following the Morbras.

A two-part hike from station to station. First, you cross the Armainvilliers National Forest, on wide paths and then on a trail that winds through the undergrowth. The rest of the route takes you through fields, through the village of Favières and finally to the heritage sites of Tournan-en-Brie.

The Grande Randonnée trail, which crosses the massif from one side to the other, offers walkers idyllic scenes, such as the surroundings of the Mare du Cormier, or bucolic moments, such as chestnut picking! Within the Ferrieres and Armainvilliers forests, the route follows sections of the GRP® and PR® trails of the Briardes Valleys and Forests.

This is mainly an urban route that starts on the banks of the Marne. It then climbs up to take paths between gardens and enjoy extensive views of the eastern suburbs of Paris. After the Church of Saint-Pierre and the Château d'Ormesson, it crosses the green Morbras Park.

After walking along the Marne from Champigny station, we stroll through Old Saint-Maur and visit the remains of the former abbey that gave the town its name. The walk ends at the water's edge, along the Saint-Maur Canal and then, once again, the Marne.
