Description of the walk

Park in the cemetery driveway leading to Rue Auguste Dupin in Mandres-les-Roses.

(S/E) Walk along these two streets, then cross and turn right onto Rue Francois Coppée (yellow markings).
At the roundabout, take the lane blocked by a barrier, follow it to Rue du Chemin Vert (houses on the right and greenhouse on the left) and turn left.

(1) Cross and turn left onto the departmental road for 200 metres. At the first crossroads, go down the small street on the right (Sentier des Sources), which quickly turns right. After a bend, it turns into a path that leads straight to Chemin de la Noirat (tarmac). Go down to the left, then to the right (yellow markings) and turn left down the dirt path (steep).

(2) After the bend, take the detour on the right and climb a little. (If you go all the way down, you will shorten the hike by 2 km).

(3) The path leads to Rue des Mahiettes; go down this street. Turn left onto Rue des Vallées, which follows the Yerres. After a slight climb, turn right onto Chemin des Sources-Saint-Thibault.
Pass between the water plant and the Yerres.

(4) Follow the path (yellow markings) which leads to Rue de Rochopt, then walk down this street.

(5) Cross the Yerres at the mill, then follow it on the left through the meadow to the road bridge (take the steep path before the bridge) which leads to the other bank.

(6) After the bridge, turn left and walk back in the opposite direction on the other bank. Pass the menhir and continue for about 100 metres.

(7) Leave the path (PR® blue markings) and head up to the right towards the houses. At the houses, turn left and walk alongside them.
At the crossroads, take Rue de la Sablière, which climbs alongside the cemetery and then turns right.
At the crossroads, turn left onto the D33 for 50 metres, then right onto Chemin de la Pièce de la Pointe de Mandres.

(8) Turn left. At the end of Rue des Boissières, continue along the path of the same name. At the junction with Rue des Plantes, turn left then right into Rue Neuve des Plantes.
Turn left onto Rue des Roses, then right onto Rue Cazeaux (D252B).

(9) Take Ruelle aux Ânes next to a shelter.
At the end, turn left. Follow Rue de Brie to the right for 70 metres, then turn left onto Rue de Servon, which becomes a path.

(10) Turn left at the street and join Rue André Deleau. Follow it to the left; it continues as Avenue Georges Pompidou.

(11) At the junction with the D52, turn left then veer right onto Rue du 8 Mai 1945 to reach the car park (S/E).

There are many greenhouses at the start and end of the route with a few explanatory signs.
Beautiful late 19th and early 20th century residences line the Yerres between (2) and (4).

to avoid the monotony of the residential streets, it is nice to extend the walk upstream and downstream along the Yerres

A pleasant walk, but the section along the Yerres river is not very interesting, which is disappointing given the name of this hike.

The only interesting thing about this route is the banks of the Yerres, which are very pleasant, with some beautiful houses. The rest is really uninteresting.

A short hike that alternates between urban surroundings and peaceful nature. The route along the banks of the Yerres with its beautiful villas is very pleasant. Some sections are a little muddy. The description is very reliable.

The route is only interesting along the banks of the Yerres, with beautiful houses between points 3 and 6.
The rest is just housing estates, so nothing special.
Disappointed with this route.

A bit too much running around the streets.
But the nature sections are really enjoyable.

A beautiful walk even in early December, varied, roads and paths, banks of the Yerres and beautiful villas. Don't forget good shoes and a small bottle of water (no refreshments along the way). The explanations are clear and sufficient, and the description (km, elevation, time) is accurate.

Superb hike, nothing to add to the other comments. Pay attention to the markings, which are well done but often hidden by shrubs on private property. The markings are yellow or blue

A varied, well-designed route for a rainy winter walk, mostly on tarmac. Perfect description. An urban environment extending into the countryside. Pretty banks of the Yerres river.

Hello,

We really enjoyed the Les Villas du bord de Yerres hike, which allowed us to discover Mandres les Roses and the new buildings between points 9 and 11
I encourage you to continue this initiative, which allows us to discover new routes
