Gare des Clairières de Verneuil walks

A hike from station to station which, with a few climbs, leads from the Seine valley to the Oise valley. After the streets, alleys and paths of Triel-sur-Seine and Chanteloup-les-Vignes, you cross the Hautil Forest in a very pleasant way. Three beautiful churches and two beautiful farmhouses are to be discovered along the way.

A long walk that takes you into the beautiful region of the French Vexin. It passes through charming and remarkable villages such as Vigny, Us, Triel-sur-Seine and Évecquemont, with their churches and castles – each as remarkable as the next – including the Château de Vigny and the Château de Villette. Most of the walk takes place on flat ground with sweeping views. Only the first 10 kilometres alternate between built-up areas and woodland.

The walk begins with a very varied section of the GRP® "la Seine impressionniste", starting with the imposing ESA Ariane rocket factory and its loading dock, a charming marina, the Île de loisir du Val de Seine, and several very large ponds. It continues through Triel-sur-Seine, with its pleasant Parc Senet and the architecturally intricate St Martin’s Church. The walk through the Bois d’Hautil along easy yet unspoilt paths is well worth the detour for its chestnut forests dotted with a few fine oaks, and punctuated by a large number of sinkholes resulting from the collapse of underground quarries. And we finish off gently, admiring the confluence of the Oise and the Seine. ⚠️ User comment on 18 May 2026:>Please note: at point 8, the path is closed in both directions due to reported risks of collapse; instead, take the GR®2 further down to cross from east to west

A long hike from station to station, alternating between the banks of the Seine, forests, fields, towns and villages, offering numerous views of the Seine and the French Vexin. The route, dotted with historical landmarks, also serves as a reminder that heavy fighting took place in the region in August 1944.

A lovely walk along the banks of the Seine, passing through pretty villages such as Evecquemont. The starting point and finishing point are two stations on the same SNCF line.

A walk along the Seine from Triel-sur-Seine to Gargenville, taking in footpaths, narrow streets and the Île de Loisirs du Val de Seine, with panoramic views over the plain. Castles, wash houses and ponds are all waiting to be discovered along this route.

A long hike from station to station that veers away from the Seine Valley (which is not particularly suitable for hiking in this area) and climbs to higher ground. The route alternates between wooded sections and stretches through fields with sweeping views. There is a wealth of heritage to discover, with two beautiful Romanesque churches in the first part and, towards the end and as a grand finale, the Gothic Collegiate Church of Mantes-la-Jolie.

A hike from station to station with the Oise as the guiding thread. You will cross several wooded parks and follow the river for a long time, mostly on a right of way. At the end of the route, the passage through Auvers-sur-Oise is an opportunity to evoke the famous painter Vincent Van Gogh.

A lovely, flat route to enjoy at a leisurely pace along the banks of the Oise, with a section high up behind the Pays de Maurecourt offering magnificent views of the Oise. This region is even more beautiful when viewed from the footpaths.

What could be more relaxing than discovering the architectural, historical and natural heritage whilst strolling along the Seine... A route suitable for everyone, young and old, which will take you from the Fin-d’Oise district, the historic heart of the river trade, to the Denouval district, passing by the main monuments in the city centre.
