Departure from Verrières-le-Buisson (Essonne)
A beautiful, challenging hike with elevation gain, along trails and paths, away from the main forest roads. A good training route.
Be careful, this is a complex route that is relatively difficult to navigate.
If you are quiet enough, you may come across deer.
This route is best in summer (or all year round if you don't mind water and mud).

Departure from Bourg-la-Reine (Hauts-de-Seine)
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.

Departure from Igny (Essonne) (Essonne)
This second section, dedicated to the Bièvre, begins in a still rural setting but quickly moves into a heavily urbanised area. However, the route favours small streets and public parks. It is also here that the river’s course becomes partly underground, reappearing here and there. There are heritage sites, notably the impressive aqueducts at Arcueil and Cachan, and beautiful views of Paris in the ‘upper’ part of the route.

This series of hikes, almost all of which are accessible by public transport, takes you on a journey of discovery through this department, avoiding major roads as much as possible and favouring footpaths and alleys, public parks and wooded areas.
