Grez-sur-Loing walks

Take a loop around the Étang de la Clarette, with a short historical walk along the Loing and through the wonderful village of Gretz-sur-Loing. Very pleasant, with unforgettable views along the Loing.

A hike from station to station starting from Montigny-sur-Loing. A varied route through the forest with a few rocks and the banks of the Loing. The Loing valley is an authentic green paradise that can be explored over a medium distance via footpaths, rural tracks and towpaths. This route takes you along the river and the canal of the same name, which flow side by side until they meet the Seine.

A loop in the heart of Fontainebleau: a magnificent poetic pond, venerable oak trees, four viewpoints, memories of revolutionary battles, a cave, a chasm, sandstone cliffs... and plenty of peace and quiet.

The very enjoyable scent of pine is everywhere. And the small sand dune that I would the "Little Dune of Pyla" is lovely.

The Rocher des Princes is a medium-difficulty loop in the pretty Fontainebleau Forest. It alternates between fairly steep climbs and descents with flat paths, allowing you to rest between the difficult sections.

Embark on a journey to Cythera, follow paths of seduction and tenderness, and make a date with happiness on this hike in the southern part of the Forest of Fontainebleau. In one area of this vast forest, the paths have been named after romantic figures... On this very wooded route, other references are used to name the paths: different kinds of birds, bandits and other criminals, and even the pope...

A varied route in the Fontainebleau forest, off the beaten track and within biological reserves. High forests, moors, plateaus and rocks alternate, with the Mare des Couleuvreux adding a touch of mystery to these landscapes.

Depart from the Maison Forestière de Maintenon for a 16 km walk.

Starting from an old retreat which has been visited since the 11th century, this hike allows you to explore the Gorges de Franchard and the surrounding areas. Winding through rocks and several rock shelters such as the well-known Antre des Druides. N.B. The difference in altitude is probably higher than stated: roughly 100 metres and a 2 hour walk.

From the Ermitage de Franchard, this is a very varied hike which will take you past old sandstone quarries, the Gorges du Houx and the charming Mare aux Pigeons. On the route are several vast viewing points, numerous spectacular rocks and the curious Grotte du Serment cave. N.B. The elevation and the time shown appear to be under-estimated: count on about 250 meters and 4 hours of walking.

A succession of beautiful, long, shaded and sunny paths between two rocky outcrops. Discover the natural diversity of the Fontainebleau Massif with minimal road crossings.

It is a short, relatively easy circuit exploring some curiosities of the forest of Fontainebleau around the Avon SNCF train station, namely the views over the Croix du Calvaire, the Sponge Rock, Denecourt Tower and fountains. One could also call it the fountain circuit.

This hike showcases much of the diverse landscape of the Fontainebleau Forest: rocky outcrops, plateaus, deciduous forests, pine forests, heathland, ponds and sweeping views.

A loop offering beautiful views of the Seine and its valley! After an initial section in the forest, the trail follows a pleasant path along the riverbank, offering superb panoramic views. The hike ends on the banks of the Seine, with a picturesque passage on the small island of Basses Godernes.
