The hike starts at the car park behind Auvers-sur-Oise station (Val d'Oise). Access is via Rue de Paris (the D928 leading to Méry-sur-Oise).
You can get there by car and, of course, by train.
GRP® Green Belt of the Ile de France (Red and Yellow)
(S/E) Exit the car park, turn left and head towards the Auvers-sur-Oise church, which is clearly visible.
At the church, continue straight ahead on Rue Daubigny until you reach Rue Lery.
(1) TheGRP® turns left.
GR® signposting (red and white)
Continue along Rue Daubigny, which becomes Chemin des Vallées au Veau. At the fork, take the left-hand path that climbs alongside a small stream.
This path runs along the bottom of the Ravine des Vallées and ends on the D27.
(2) Turn right and continue on the D27 until you reach a crossroads with a metal crucifix.
(3) The D27 turns right. Continue straight ahead on the farm track.
At the edge of the woods, turn right onto the path that descends steeply until it reaches Rue Georges Duhamel, which you cross. Continue along Rue Léon Bernard.
(4) At the junction with a footpath, theGR® signpost turns left; do not follow it.
This walking path was built on the platform of the old metre-gauge railway line from Valmondois to Marines. Today, only about one kilometre of track remains, which you will see further on.
PR® signposting (yellow)
Continue by turning right onto the walking path. It follows a stream, the Sausseron, which is clearly visible in places.
(5) Near a pavilion in front of which a bust of Honoré Daumier has been placed, you can see the Valmondois municipal park on your right, which has a few picnic tables.
Continue along the promenade and you will arrive at the Grande Rue (D151).
(6) Turn left to reach a T-junction.
(7) Turn right towards Butry-sur-Oise.
(8) At the next crossroads, cross Rue de Parmain (D4) and follow the narrow-gauge railway tracks, which curve left. At the end, turn right onto Rue des Violaines, then right again onto Avenue de la Gare.
(9) Cross the level crossing and continue almost straight ahead along Rue du Port au Loup, which will take you to the banks of the Oise.
(10) Leave the PR® signposts.
No signposts
Follow the path on the right that runs along the banks of the Oise. You will pass a water treatment plant, under a road and railway bridge and next to a rowing club. After walking between two rows of tall poplar trees, you will reach the D928 bridge. As you approach it, about a hundred metres before, take the path on the right that leads up to the road.
Cross the D928 and you will be at the entrance to the car park (S/E).
