Gare de Les Ardoines walks

This urban route will allow you to discover a small corner of the suburbs, cross the Bicêtre Hospital and end up at the Seine after passing through Parc Montsouris and the Jardin du Luxembourg, then a few old districts of Paris.

A short walk that takes us to the point where the two main rivers of the Île-de-France region meet, two kilometres east of Paris. Numerous bridges, a dam and a lock on the Marne, a towpath and industrial heritage form the backdrop to this urban route.

Discover street art on both sides of the Boulevard Périphérique! First, cross Ivry-sur-Seine, where painted or tagged walls alternate with much older heritage. Then, wander through the Rive Gauche district of Paris's 13th arrondissement, currently undergoing renovation, where murals and modern architecture rub shoulders with interesting industrial heritage.

Starting from the Marne just before it joins the Seine, the route takes you through Charenton-le-Pont. The large park around Lac de Daumesnil offers a bucolic transition before entering Paris. After strolling through Parc de Bercy, you cross the Seine via a footbridge before reaching Austerlitz station near the bridge of the same name.

Discover or rediscover the Grand Paris Sud-Est Avenir area by exploring its various walking routes, which showcase the main points of interest and the sometimes little-known treasures of our 16 municipalities, each with their own unique and distinctive histories.

A route through a highly urbanised area that is still evolving, where old workshops, residential estates and post-war buildings stand alongside more recent architecture. The route is punctuated by a few spacious parks, a fort from the old walls of Paris, and the superimposed aqueducts of Arcueil and Cachan.

An urban route starting along Lake Créteil from its southern tip to its northern tip, set amongst lawns and reed beds. You then cross, via footpaths, the ‘Du Chou et des Épis’ neighbourhood, with its cylindrical tower blocks featuring original designs, and the University district. The end of the route takes you to Maisons-Alfort via the Juliottes neighbourhood.

The commune of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés lies entirely within a bend in the Marne. This walk, from station to station, follows almost the entire length of this bend. It can be enjoyed in all seasons and showcases the river and its islands, the residential neighbourhoods along its banks and Charles Trénet, who lived here for part of his life.

After a few passages and alleys in Saint-Maur, the lock and the Créteil bridge, you walk along a small branch of the Marne and stroll through the residential Ile Brise Pain. After crossing the Mont-Mesly district of Créteil, with its large, airy housing estates, you arrive at the tip of the lake, which is decorated with several water jets.

An itinerary in the heart of the rapidly changing south-eastern districts of Paris! From the towers and slabs of Ivry to the fountain with lions, via the François Mitterrand Library, the park and the former wine-growing village of Bercy, the route avoids busy roads as much as possible and favours narrow streets and passageways, squares and gardens.
