Maffliers walks

Discover the Isle-Adam National Forest and the agricultural landscapes of the Val d'Oise on its southern edge. The route alternates between forest paths and wide, rolling hills amid cultivated fields and meadows.

A hike through the south-western part of the L'Isle-Adam Forest, where you will encounter some remarkable trees and beautiful heritage sites in Montsoult and Maffliers.

From Nerville-la-Forêt, take a short hike in the Forêt de l'Isles Adam with visits to three villages and three churches. This hike is popular in summer when it is hot thanks to the cool shade of the trees in this forest, and also in winter as the ground is not too muddy.

A very beautiful route from station to station in the Montmorency Forest, based in part on four themed trails: “Le Sentier des Lisières”, “Le Sentier de la Reine Hortense” and “Le Chemin des Philosophes” described on the Saint-Leu-la-Forêt tourist information website, plus “Taverny par les Sentes”. Thanks to a number of information boards, the route allows you to trace the region’s ancient and more recent history, admire many of its most interesting sites, and even engage in a bit of philosophy. It can easily be shortened to 18 km by avoiding the return trip to the Statue of Notre-Dame de France at the start of the walk.

A circular loop from station to station accessible via line H. Starting from the town of Bouffémont, it takes you into the Montmorency Forest and on to the Château de la Chasse and its pond. Before and after the château, the route follows various forest trails in the shade of century-old trees.

As the title suggests, this hike takes in three covered walkways, two of which are among the most remarkable in the Ile-de-France region. The first part takes place in the Carnelle Forest, with beautiful beech woods and two pleasant lakes. The second part takes place mainly across fields.

La randonnée se déroule d'abord à travers la Forêt de Carnelle, avec un passage à la superbe Allée couverte de la Pierre Turquaise, la plus imposante d'Ile-de-France. On continue en forêt puis à travers champs, pas loin de l'Oise, pour une visite à l'ancienne Abbaye de Royaumont. On termine entre bois, prés, champs et zones résidentielles.

This forest is steeped in history, as Saint Louis and Blanche of Castile used to walk here. It takes its name from the Celtic root "Carn", meaning stone, as some of its covered paths contain the remains of Neolithic tribes who came from the north. The exploitation of gypsum and marl gave rise to two ponds: the Petit Étang and the Lac Bleu.

This half-day hike takes you around the entire Isle-Adam Forest. It is not particularly difficult and offers beautiful views overlooking the Stors Marsh and a glimpse of the old quarries (be careful not to cross the safety barrier).

Starting from the Route du Faîte, this is a very hilly hike in the Montmorency Forest, passing by the Château de la Chasse.

Route north of the Montmorency forest, crossing the unspoilt valleys of Montubois and Chauvry. Views of the Oise Valley. Church and half-timbered houses in Villiers-Adam, calvary, hoof wash and fountain in Béthemont-la-Forêt.

Visit Royaumont Abbey via Viarmes and Luzarches, following the GR®655 circular route, for a wonderful day out with the family.

A circular walk that follows the GR®1 from Viarmes station to Presles on the outward leg. After passing through Noisy-sur-Oise, a village overlooking the Oise Valley, the GR®1 enters the Carnelle Forest, runs alongside Lac Bleu and passes near the covered walkway at La Pierre Turquaise. On the return leg, the route runs alongside the three lakes of the Carnelle Forest. Before arriving at the station, the route offers a chance to discover one of Viarmes’ many wash houses.

A pleasant circular with a moderate elevation gain, in the chestnut grove of one of the green lungs of the Ile-de-France region. In autumn, families can come and collect chestnuts.

The Carnelle National Forest is a forest located on a hill 25 km north of Paris. Its summit (altitude 210 m) is one of the highest points in the Val d'Oise. The variety of its landscapes makes it one of the most pleasant sites in the region. This hike follows part of the northern flank of the forest, allowing you to discover some interesting features of the forest and its surroundings.
