Gare de Mennecy walks
From La Ferté-Alais to Mennecy via the ponds
This hike is certainly the most "aquatic" of those that can be undertaken along the Essonne. Indeed, numerous ponds punctuate the route: ponds for fishing or other forms of leisure; ponds and marshes that make up a protected natural area, a source of biodiversity and a place to observe wildlife.
Walks near Gare de Mennecy
Following the Orge from Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois to Athis-Mons
A hike from station to station that constitutes the last stage of this route along the Orge River, ending at its confluence with the Seine. Although the area is highly urbanised, the walkway along the river, which takes us back and forth across it, often offers a bucolic setting.
From Quincy to Montgeron along the Yerres
This is an unusual route, as the outward journey is by train from Montgeron station to Combs la Ville-Quincy-sous-Sénart station, and the return journey is on foot along a path that largely follows the banks of the Yerres.
Following the Orge from Arpajon to Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois.
A hike from station to station, mostly following the Orge river or its secondary branch, the Grande Boële, and along a few large reservoirs. There is a rich heritage to discover, in Arpajon at the start of the hike and, as a highlight, at the Basilica of Longpont.

The route passes through numerous villages of varying sizes.

From Étréchy to Dourdan through the fields and woods of Hurepoix
A hilly route from station to station, mainly through farmland for the first two-thirds, then through more wooded areas.
