Gare de Mareuil-sur-Ourcq walks

Sixteenth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, between Crouy-sur-Ourcq and Isles-Armentières-Congis stations in Seine-et-Marne. This stage, which is still relatively easy, continues the descent of the Canal de l'Ourcq - with a detour to the Multien plateau and the village of May-en-Multien - and continues along the Marne.

A walk from station to station, mainly along the towpath of the Canal de l'Ourcq. A circular route allows you to gain a little height and admire the church of May-en-Multien, built in the 12th century, up close.

A relatively easy stage that follows the towpath of the canalised Ourcq River to Mareuil-sur-Ourcq, then the Ourcq Canal, which separates from the river at that point.A short detour is suggested at the start of the stage to the Château de La Ferté-Milon on the heights of the town, offering a magnificent view of the surrounding area. Similarly, at the end, the GR® offers a short detour through the woods to the oratory and then the Chapelle Notre-Dame du Chêne before reaching Crouy-sur-Ourcq station.

Fourteenth stage, entirely in the Aisne department, of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, between the stations of Villers-Cotterêts and La Ferté-Milon. During this stage, we switch to the eastern side of Île-de-France, leaving the Oise basin to reach the Ourcq valley and the Marne basin.As the stage is short, a small (optional) circular in Villers-Cotterêts is suggested at the start, to discover the magnificent park of its equally magnificent château. It can be done after the previous stage completed the day before, with an overnight stay in Villers-Cotterêts.

The route begins under the majestic beech trees of the Retz National Forest. It then passes through typical villages with a rich architectural heritage. The path overlooks the valleys of the Ourcq and its tributaries. You will discover the beginning of the Ourcq Canal. The Donjon du Houssoy welcomes you at the end of the route in Crouy-sur-Ourcq.

A hike starting from Lizy-sur-Ourcq station, green and refreshing in summer as it follows shaded paths along the Ourcq river, then near the Marne, with a passage through the woods, before ending at Changis-sur-Marne station after a walk through the fields.

A hike from station to station that takes you from the Pays de l'Ourcq to the Pays Fertois. After following the Ourcq and then the Marne rivers, you climb up past the churches of Tancrou and Jaignes with its polisher. You then follow the Ru de Rutel, climbing between fields, woods and orchards, before descending through the Bois départemental de la Barre and its discovery trail.

Varied landscapes, ranging from woodland to cultivated plains, and a pleasant walk along the Canal de l’Ourcq.

Seventeenth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, between the Isles-Armentières-Congis and La Ferté-sous-Jouarre stations in Seine-et-Marne. This stage consists of a climb up the Marne valley, following its southern plateau (foothills of Brie). In addition, for more than half of the route, the GR® follows the route of the Dhuys Aqueduct, ensuring a well-levelled and therefore relatively easy path.
