Gare de Villiers-Montbarbin walks

A walk from station to station linking the Grand Morin valley with the Marne valley. The route, which involves some elevation gain, often runs through fields. It follows the embankment of the Dhuys underground aqueduct for approximately 6 km, in two sections.

An original route from south to north, more rural than wooded, passing through interesting villages. The zigzag route makes it easy to shorten for those intimidated by the distance: we recommend cutting from point to point, which allows you to visit all the villages along the route, reducing the distance to less than 20 km. Only the aqueduct section would then be left out.The start and finish are accessible by bus from the Chessy-Marne-la-Vallée RER-TGV station, or by train.

This is an alternative to the walk “From Crécy-la-Chapelle station to Meaux station via Bouleurs and Boutigny”, which runs further east and allows you to visit the interesting village of Saint-Fiacre (church, wash house, picnic spot and restaurant), and to cross several fields of nearby oil wells. The first third mainly crosses cultivated areas, where the undulating plateau allows the eye to see quite far. You also pass through the villages of Sancy and Vaucourtois, with their respective churches and castles. The second part is much more varied, taking you along a section of the Dhuys Aqueduct, past the Meaux-Boutigny golf course, through the woods at the foot of Bois le Comte, and along the Marne before finishing with a quick (or longer, depending on your mood) visit to the old town centre of Meaux.

A walk along the water, first along a canal and then along the Marne. The only elevation gain is at Côte Saint-Jacques, which the canal crosses via a tunnel. The outdoor sculptures near the Dhuys footbridge add a touch of heritage.

A walk from station to station that starts on the edge of the forest. You then follow a maze of paths through the village of Tigeaux. The route continues across a cultivated plateau and then along the Grand Morin. The town of Crécy-la-Chapelle brings this walk to a close on a superb heritage note, highlighted by the Gothic-style collegiate church.
