Gare de Provins walks

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the medieval walls of Provins are worth a visit in their own right! This urban walk, enhanced by waterways, allows you to discover the town's main sites and monuments: ramparts, Romanesque church and Gothic collegiate church, former convent, and the famous César Tower. The route was designed by the Pays du Provinois Community of Communes and marked by the FFRP.

A hike from station to station that allows you to reach the town of Provins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on foot. From place to place, the route offers increasingly close views of the Upper Town of Provins. In a refreshing setting, the village of Chalautre-la-Petite also boasts an interesting heritage.

This easy walk takes you past all the interesting buildings in Provins, both in the upper and lower towns, and follows the streets with the finest clusters of half-timbered houses. The circular route rounds off this urban route with a countryside detour to a few points of interest, whilst also offering views of the upper town as a whole.

Twenty-second stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11. A short stage connecting Longueville to Provins, allowing you to rest after the long previous stages crossing Brie. As the stage is short, we suggest starting with a short circular loop through the old town of Provins to discover its rich heritage.

A hike mainly through fields with a few passages through woods. There is some beautiful heritage in Sourdun (church, castle) and the route offers some beautiful views, albeit distant, of the Collegiate Church of Saint-Quiriace and the César Tower in Provins.

This marked GR® route around the Île-de-France region (with a few forays into neighbouring departments and regions) complements its "little brother", the GR®1, by forming a circular route around Paris, generally with a slightly larger radius. It follows the same overall pattern: first, a radial section starting from Paris (more precisely from the Pont d'Austerlitz, near the former confluence of the Bièvre and the Seine), going up the entire Bièvre valley, then continuing to Villiers-Saint-Frédéric, in the Yvelines. From there, it is a circular route that loops around the Île-de-France region, close to its borders with neighbouring regions. The route passes through beautiful regions, often untouched by intensive urbanisation, regional nature parks and other protected natural areas, and takes in some architectural wonders.

This is the twenty-first stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, and the last of the three stages through Brie between Coulommiers and Provins. It is still quite long but without any real difficulty.This stage completes the crossing of Brie, reaching Provins, whose iconic monuments (Caesar's Tower and the dome of the Collegiate Church of Saint-Quiriace) can be seen from afar in good weather, marking the destination of the stage!

From the medieval town of Coulommiers to Provins, via a loop around the Marne in the Paris suburbs, a series of walks starting from a station and crossing the Brie plain, its villages and its rich heritage.
