We did it backwards to avoid retracing part of the route we had taken in the morning, following the circular 'Huison Longueville';
a beautiful hike.

The garage is a Peugeot and not a Citroën (error reported several times by other hikers); at the starting point, there are three other very pleasant routes around Huison (specific signage with four different colours).

Short, fairly varied route with no major difficulties. Some beautiful woodland (between 4 and ) and a lovely view over the plain (point 6).

We linked this route with the one called "From La Ferté Alais to Boutigny through the Charron woods" and started at point 2.
An easy hike in cool, grey weather, but without the rain forecast by the weather forecast.
You really have to be right on top of it to see the antenna, which is hidden by the trees.
Opposite the municipal workshops, there is a shelter where we stopped. The staff kindly lent us a table so that we could enjoy our picnic in comfort.

From D'Huisson to Longueville, I added 4 km to the circular route by taking the trails to Cerny and returning via the Gr to D'Huisson.

Very pleasant hike. Very quiet area, no noise. However, there is not much to see along the route.

A lovely walk – easy to do with children – the municipality offers other walks starting from the municipal workshops – all of them interesting – We do them regularly, in different seasons – always with the same pleasure.

A lovely little walk.

The route is very well described until the descent, where I was never able to find the famous "pylon that can be seen from afar". But it didn't matter too much, as with a little sense of direction, we easily completed the hike, albeit not via the route we should have followed.

For the start, it would be better to replace Citroën with Peugeot.

I looked at seven or eight hikes on the VisoRando website.
My only regret is that all the descriptions I read assumed that hikers have a car.
There are thousands of Parisians who do not have a car and are looking for hikes that can be accessed by train.

As already noted (I hadn't read the comments), it's Peugeot and no longer Citroën. Not much mud because the terrain is sandy. I did it very quickly (1½ hours) without realising, and took a detour, a small extra circular loop to the right at the top of the hill, with the aim of going to the viewpoint indicated at the entrance to the hill, but unnecessarily, as the viewpoint (under the highest pylon) is completely blocked by vegetation.
A lovely, enjoyable walk in the sunshine.
I've marked it down to take people there soon.
Perhaps I'll extend the end by going further towards the stables.

The only minor issue is that the garage at the start is not a "Citroën" dealership but a "Peugeot" dealership.

Instead of writing "Follow the path towards the pylon that can be seen from afar"...
... it should say " Follow the path for a little over 500 metres and continue towards the pylon supporting antennas" that you can see from afar."

In fact, you have to walk quite a distance before you see the famous pylon, whereas at the start of the path you can see several pylons supporting high-voltage lines, but these are not in the right direction and therefore have nothing to do with the route.
