Joinville-le-Pont walks

A short hike in an urban setting, from station to station, along the Marne and on one of its islands. A walk punctuated by bridges and the many rowing clubs located on the banks.

Discover a green oasis on the edge of Paris's 12th arrondissement and evidence of the French colonial vision that prevailed at the beginning of the 20th century, which we now view very differently. After visiting the garden, the hike offers a circular route in the Bois de Vincennes, around Lac des Minimes.

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.

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.

A hike in the Bois de Vincennes. Starting from the Kiosque de Gravelle, after a circular loop through the Arboretum, enjoy a panoramic view of Vincennes from the Belvédère du Bois. Walk along the Allée Royale with a view of the château and return to the car park via the small paths.

A short walk through the streets, alleys and paths of Fontenay-sous-Bois. Located on the site of former gypsum quarries, the Ecoparc offers a calm and exotic atmosphere as well as a beautiful panorama. The Parc de l'Hôtel de Ville, with its water features and a few paths lined with beautiful pavilions, completes the picture.

This is mainly an urban route that starts on the banks of the Marne. It then climbs up to take paths between gardens and enjoy extensive views of the eastern suburbs of Paris. After the Church of Saint-Pierre and the Château d'Ormesson, it crosses the green Morbras Park.

After walking along the Marne from Champigny station, we stroll through Old Saint-Maur and visit the remains of the former abbey that gave the town its name. The walk ends at the water's edge, along the Saint-Maur Canal and then, once again, the Marne.

An 11 km walk with a shaded route, some unusual discoveries in the Bois de Vincennes and facilities dedicated to culture and sport. At the end of the walk, you can enjoy a drink at the UCPA equestrian centre.

The spread of Columbanian rule led to the establishment of more than forty monasteries in Western Europe. Queen Bathilde founded one of the most important women's abbeys in France in Chelles. This second journey, or path of exile, was travelled by Columbanus and his compatriots between 610 and 613, from Paris to Rebais. It marked the beginning of a new journey eastwards to Bregenz on Lake Constance and then Bobbio.

A pleasant route through the Bois de Vincennes, along four lakes and streams. There are other things to discover if you want to extend your walk. You may be lucky enough to spot Victor, the grey heron, between Lac de Gravelle and the Château de Vincennes.

This route makes us forget that we are in one of the most densely populated and urban departments in France! Most of the route is on footpaths, shared in places with cyclists, along the Marne and in the Parc de la Haute-Ile, which promotes the preservation of biodiversity.

A three-hour circular in the commune of Neuilly-Plaisance, starting from the RER station and ending at the Plateau d'Avron and its park, via the green corridor. The return journey is more urban, through quiet streets, with a detour along the banks of the Marne.

This route alternates between urban areas, favouring small streets and paths, and three public gardens, each with its own unique characteristics. It is also an opportunity to discover Montreuil's horticultural and arboricultural past.

A route that, in a highly urbanised environment, favours alleys and other passageways, as well as public parks, and runs alongside several areas of shared or allotment gardens. It is also an opportunity to pay tribute to the mathematicians and activists Josette and Maurice Audin, victims of the abuses that took place during the Algerian War.
