La Maison des Arts à Chatillon walks

An urban route that runs partly through public parks or woods, away from traffic! Each park has its own identity, and the town centres of Châtillon and Clamart add their own heritage touch.

A short hike on the slopes of the Val de Seine, through the old Fort d'Issy, which has been redeveloped, the public gardens of Issy-les-Moulineaux and the paths and stairs of Meudon. An urban route with some elevation changes, offering beautiful views and a diverse heritage.

The Coulée Verte in southern Paris is a series of green spaces that have been created near or above the Atlantic TGV railway lines. The route, in the inner suburbs, follows this green corridor to its end. An urban walk in green surroundings that can be enjoyed in all seasons, on foot or by bike.

This hike crosses Parc de Sceaux and the Verrières National Forest, then continues along the Bièvre, whose valley has been developed with numerous sports and leisure facilities. The presence of so many green spaces is surprising in an otherwise highly urbanised region.

Starting from Arcueil-Cachan station, you cross two parks and a bamboo grove, and walk along the Bièvre river and then the Loing and Lunain aqueduct. The route then crosses Bagneux and Parc François Mitterrand to return to Fontenay-aux-Roses station, the start and end of this long circular route through the inner suburbs of Paris.

A varied hike starting from Parc de Sceaux, passing through Parc de la Vallée aux Loups, the house of Chateaubriand, the garden cities of Plessis-Robinson with its allotments and river, which runs at the foot of the buildings. The hike ends with a walk through the forest of Meudon.

A short walk in the south of Paris, partly along the old Petite Ceinture railway line. Before strolling through the wooded park, the Montsouris neighbourhood reveals its quiet houses with varied architecture.

A hike through the 15th and 7th arrondissements of Paris in search of animal representations. We take a few busy streets, such as Rue du Commerce. Crossing the Champ de Mars offers a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.

After following paths through the town, this walk from station to station offers the chance to discover the Meudon Observatory and admire the sweeping views from the terrace of its park. The rest of the route is mainly through forest.

A short walk to relax and get away from it all. First, take the old Petite Ceinture railway line, which runs high above the city. Then stroll through Parc Georges Brassens, which offers a variety of paths and places to stop and rest. Finally, you pass through the 14th arrondissement and follow the Petite Ceinture line to the Porte d'Orléans.
