Maison d'Emile Zola (Médan) walks

A walk along the Seine from Triel-sur-Seine to Gargenville, taking in footpaths, narrow streets and the Île de Loisirs du Val de Seine, with panoramic views over the plain. Castles, wash houses and ponds are all waiting to be discovered along this route.

A hike from station to station which, with a few climbs, leads from the Seine valley to the Oise valley. After the streets, alleys and paths of Triel-sur-Seine and Chanteloup-les-Vignes, you cross the Hautil Forest in a very pleasant way. Three beautiful churches and two beautiful farmhouses are to be discovered along the way.

A hike from station to station, most of which takes place in the Forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, which we cross from south-west to north-east. It is an opportunity to walk through forests of various species and to come across two ancient crosses and two oratories. The route ends with a water theme, at the confluence of the Seine and the Oise.

What could be more relaxing than discovering the architectural, historical and natural heritage whilst strolling along the Seine... A route suitable for everyone, young and old, which will take you from the Fin-d’Oise district, the historic heart of the river trade, to the Denouval district, passing by the main monuments in the city centre.

A lovely, flat route to enjoy at a leisurely pace along the banks of the Oise, with a section high up behind the Pays de Maurecourt offering magnificent views of the Oise. This region is even more beautiful when viewed from the footpaths.

A station-to-station walk, which can also be done as a slightly shorter loop. The route is mainly woodland, using both signposted paths and little-travelled paths in the undergrowth. The Étang du Corra, a protected site, offers an interlude with beautiful views and the chance to spot many birds.

A hike from station to station that crosses the entire western part of the Saint-Germain-en-Laye National Forest. A few ancient crosses mark this forest trail. The route ends in Poissy, where you can admire the Notre-Dame Collegiate Church.

A hike from station to station that crosses the entire eastern part of the Saint-Germain-en-Laye National Forest. A few crosses and oratories mark this forest trail. The route ends in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where you can admire its castle, built in the 12th century.

The walk begins with a very varied section of the GRP® "la Seine impressionniste", starting with the imposing ESA Ariane rocket factory and its loading dock, a charming marina, the Île de loisir du Val de Seine, and several very large ponds. It continues through Triel-sur-Seine, with its pleasant Parc Senet and the architecturally intricate St Martin’s Church. The walk through the Bois d’Hautil along easy yet unspoilt paths is well worth the detour for its chestnut forests dotted with a few fine oaks, and punctuated by a large number of sinkholes resulting from the collapse of underground quarries. And we finish off gently, admiring the confluence of the Oise and the Seine. ⚠️ User comment on 18 May 2026:>Please note: at point 8, the path is closed in both directions due to reported risks of collapse; instead, take the GR®2 further down to cross from east to west

A long hike from station to station, alternating between the banks of the Seine, forests, fields, towns and villages, offering numerous views of the Seine and the French Vexin. The route, dotted with historical landmarks, also serves as a reminder that heavy fighting took place in the region in August 1944.
