Description of the walk

Departure from the Halle des Rencontres, Rue de la Gare (car park).

(S/E) Take the path that goes around the stadium on the right and runs alongside the school on the right-hand side. Join the Route du Moulin Bourcier and turn left. Continue straight on until you reach the D10 (Route de Tournan).

(1) Cross the D10 and take Ruelle Sainte-Jeanne opposite.

(2) After about 80 metres, go down the small path on the left along the Ru de Gondoire and follow it on the left.

(3) At a fork, turn left and take the small bridge over the stream. Then cross Rue de la Jonchère and take the path opposite into a housing estate.

(4) After 150 metres, turn right at the crossroads. Cross the street and continue straight ahead. At the end of the path, turn right onto the footpath. You will immediately come out onto a street; follow it to the left. At the end, turn left onto Avenue Marcel Proust. In the bend, at the corner of the cemetery, take a path on the right. This will take you to the town hall and the church; go down the steps.

(5) Follow Rue du Fort du Bois to the left. At the bend, cross the street and take Chemin des Piats opposite, which goes around the Résidence du Château des Cèdres, until you reach the park entrance.

(6) You can enter the park on the left to walk around it. The route is clockwise, but you can of course go in the opposite direction.

(6) Continue north (straight ahead at the park exit, or turn right if you choose not to walk around the park). Take the small bridge over the Ru de la Gondoire.

(7) At the end of the bridge, turn right onto Rue du Châtelet. Walk along the stream on your right, then turn away from it.
At number 38, turn right to go around a wetland area.
At the exit, continue right on the road. Cross the D10e3 (Rue du Fort du Bois) and take Ruelle Sainte-Jeanne opposite. After the barrier, turn right into another wetland area.
At the exit, first turn left then right and follow Ruelle Sainte-Jeanne again. Pass a riding school on your right and return to the intersection you took on the way there.

(2) Continue straight ahead and cross the D10.

(1) Turn right and follow the path that runs alongside the D10 at first. After about 200 m, leave the road and take a path on the left. Follow the Ru de la Gondoire again. Then turn left with the path and ignore a turn-off on the right. You will arrive at a small car park on the edge of the D5, at a place called La Petite Jonchère.

(8) Turn left onto the pavement, go around the roundabout on the left and take thefirst exit, a street that goes up to Chanteloup-en-Brie. Continue along this street (Avenue de la Jonchère), then turn left onto Rue de la Gare to reach the market hall (S/E).

Notes

For a picnic: Parc des Cèdres (6) (remember to bring a blanket or rug)

Suggestion:
Before you leave, consider stopping by La Cueillette du Plessis (a shop selling local produce and offering pick-your-own fruit) to put together your picnic (located 1 km away).

Worth a visit

The Vinet mill:
A stone's throw from the entrance to Rue du Châtelet, on your right, you will see this building, which was once the Vinet mill. This mill was powered by water from the Gondoire river via leat. As you continue on your way, you will discover it in a green setting. There were many mills on the river, but today almost all of them have disappeared, like the Laurençon mill, of which only the remains of its old reservoir remain.

easy parking, variety of places visited
we stay in the suburbs, but it's very pleasant, especially
the stud farms, quite a few walkers but that's fine
can also be done easily by mountain bike, just a few steps

A generally peaceful hike, and best of all, no muddy patches!
Passed through two villages.
Followed a stream through the undergrowth on the way there and back
But no viewpoints.

More than a hike per se, it's a nice walk.
But in good weather during the off-season, and if you live nearby, it's a pleasant walk...
It's popular with other walkers and quite a few cyclists.
However, the time is overestimated. Without pushing myself, I completed the loop in 1 hour 30 minutes...

A very diverse route on roads and gravel paths, perfect in wet weather to avoid mud. Picnics are possible in the cedar park.

Short, fairly easy hike, lots of fields and little elevation gain. Suitable for my wife, who is six months pregnant.
Done with a dog; signs indicate that dogs must be kept on a leash.
