Gare de Fontenay-aux-Roses walks

This hike crosses Parc de Sceaux and the Verrières National Forest, then continues along the Bièvre, whose valley has been developed with numerous sports and leisure facilities. The presence of so many green spaces is surprising in an otherwise highly urbanised region.

A short walk in the south of Paris, partly along the old Petite Ceinture railway line. Before strolling through the wooded park, the Montsouris neighbourhood reveals its quiet houses with varied architecture.

After following paths through the town, this walk from station to station offers the chance to discover the Meudon Observatory and admire the sweeping views from the terrace of its park. The rest of the route is mainly through forest.

A short walk to relax and get away from it all. First, take the old Petite Ceinture railway line, which runs high above the city. Then stroll through Parc Georges Brassens, which offers a variety of paths and places to stop and rest. Finally, you pass through the 14th arrondissement and follow the Petite Ceinture line to the Porte d'Orléans.

The second stage of this women's march on 5 October 1789 takes more liberties with the supposed route of the procession at the time. Starting in Sèvres and ending in Versailles, the route is distinctly urban, but between the two, it is predominantly forest. The Palace of Versailles is the highlight of this hike (with its park if you wish to make an extra detour).

This third and final section of the Bièvre walks follows the course of the river, which is now underground, through the 13th and 5th arrondissements of Paris. The hike takes you along small streets, through lively neighbourhoods such as the Butte aux Cailles and Rue Mouffetard, and through numerous gardens, including the former Petite Ceinture railway line and the famous Jardin des Plantes.

Set off on a pleasant bike ride in the heart of the Hauts-de-Seine, combining contemporary art, greenery and local culture. This approximately 6-kilometre route connects the modernity of the Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt with the originality of the Playing Card Museum in Issy-les-Moulineaux, passing by the unusual Tour aux Figures on Île Saint-Germain.

We start by exploring Billancourt's industrial past on the former Renault factory sites, with a detour to the Ile Seguin. We then continue on to the Ile Saint-Germain, with its residential area and large green park. We end with a tribute to French cinema. This is an urban itinerary, but numerous parks and gardens, as well as many passageways, alleys and even footpaths, allow you to avoid the inconveniences of traffic.

From Pont de Sèvres to Pont de Saint-Cloud, with two long detours into the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud, with its woods and French gardens. The route also includes a stroll through the quiet streets of Sèvres, Ville d'Avray and Marnes-la-Coquette, with their beautiful heritage. The Étangs de Ville d'Avray offer a peaceful setting just a few kilometres from the urban centres.

The 13th arrondissement of Paris is renowned for its abundance of murals and the sheer size of some of these works, which cover walls up to 60 metres high. This urban trail takes you on a tour of no fewer than 40 of them, including some of the most spectacular. For fans of street art!
