Departure from Noisy-sur-École (Seine-et-Marne)
This is an area rarely visited by walkers, which is quite unspoilt and borders on designated nature conservation areas. The route consists of sandy paths that dry out very quickly. Take care on the rocks on the plateaus, as they can be slippery in wet weather. Furthermore, the paths on the plateaus are not signposted and it is easy to get lost. A GPS or the Visorando app is therefore recommended.

Departure from Milly-la-Forêt (Essonne)
This is the twenty-eighth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, connecting Milly-la-Forêt to the Ballancourt-sur-Essonne train station after crossing the French Gâtinais region. It is designed to follow on fromthe previous stage coming from Fontainebleau, after a night's stay there.This stage begins in the École valley, which boasts a rich heritage: Milly-la-Forêt, Moigny-sur-École, Courances and its château, and Dannemois, dear to Claude François. It continues through the fields of the Gâtinais, then the ridges and sandstone plateaus of the Grands Avaux forest, ending at Ballancourt-sur-Essonne in the valley of the same name.The stage is very beautiful but very long, and undoubtedly the most physically demanding of all those on the GR®11, especially in its second part. However, it is possible to split it in two by staying overnight and/or shorten it in several places by simplifying it.

Departure from Bourron-Marlotte (Seine-et-Marne)
A south-to-north traverse of the Forest of Fontainebleau, from station to station! The long route showcases all aspects of this vast forest: high forests of various species, heathland plateaus, ponds, sweeping views and, of course, rocky outcrops.
N.B. Due to the winding paths through the rocky sections, the distance and elevation gain are likely underestimated: expect around 30km and between 300 and 400m of elevation gain.
