Livry-sur-Seine walks

A country walk through the village of Livry, its woods and fields to Chartrettes. This can be extended to the north by the charming Vaux-le-Pénil vineyard trail (+ 2 x 5 km) for experienced walkers.

This hike alternates between forest, the Parc de l'Abbaye du Lys and the animal park at Château Soubiran in Dammarie.

This hike takes you from Melun to the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte via the GR®1 and a PR®. Let yourself be guided to Nicolas Fouquet's famous château along the Amont greenway, through the picturesque Briard village of Maincy, a "small town of character", then past the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte and its French gardens.

Route along the Seine from Chartrettes to Samois-sur-Seine, followed by a walk through part of the Forest of Fontainebleau. A visit to the cemetery in Samois allows you to see the grave of Django Reinhardt.

This stage of the GR®1 connects Bois-le-Roi to Le Vaudoué. It is the only stage that does not end at a train station. This hike is unique in that it crosses the Forest of Fontainebleau and its many beautiful rocks. There are several points of interest along this section, which is entirely forested: the tree at Carrefour des Longues Vallées, the rocks at Cuvier Chatillon, the viewpoint at Gorges d'Apremont and Gorges de Franchard (worth visiting if you don't mind walking a little further), as well as the Chapel of Prieuré Notre-Dame de Franchard and the church at Vaudoué.

A hike from station to station, the first half of which takes place entirely in the northern part of the Forest of Fontainebleau, with a passage through the rocky chaos of Rocher Canon and then to the mysterious Mare aux Évées. The route then becomes much more urban, passing through several residential areas. It finally ends on the Seine towpath.

From Bois-le-Roi to Fontainebleau, walk between forest and rocks far from the beaten track

Hike through vast woodlands interspersed with rocky outcrops such as Rocher Canon, Cuvier Chatillon and Rocher Saint-Germain.

This loop is accessible by public transport and showcases several aspects of the Forest of Fontainebleau: forest stands of various species, ponds and rocky outcrops. The superb viewpoint at Camp de Chailly is a great place to stop for a break.

The Fontainebleau Forest is one of the most beautiful forests in France thanks to its varied landscapes and, above all, its sandstone blocks. This hike, which passes through the Cuvier-Châtillon rocks, the Apremont gorges and the rocks of Mont Ussy, will allow you to appreciate all its beauty but also its fragility, due to both natural erosion and that caused by heavy human traffic, given its proximity to the Paris region.

A circular mainly through the forest, starting from Place des Fourneaux in Maincy. The route begins with a walk through the village and continues along the neighbouring fields. After a short stretch through the forest, it continues along the surrounding wall of the Château de Vaux-Le-Vicomte with a view of the Ancueil spillway. Pass in front of the Maison des Carmes, then return to the village square.

From Maincy Church to Blandy-les-Tours Castle via Vaux le Vicomte Castle.

A short hike that takes you to a beautiful lake and through beautiful forests and rocky landscapes. A 2 km loop is wheelchair accessible (see the practical information section).

This hike alternates between the rocks of Fontainebleau, the undergrowth, the banks of the Seine with the "Affolantes" of Bois-le-Roi (the beautiful villas), and a return via the Mare aux Évées. Please note: the Rocher Canon becomes very crowded at weekends when the weather is good.

Loop in the north of the Fontainebleau Forest, between Rocher Canon, Camp de Chailly, Cuvier-Rempart, Mare à Piat, and Rocher Saint-Germain. Interesting rocks, remarkable trees, varied views.

A lovely circular along the Ancœuil. Walking along this river is very pleasant when the weather is warm.
