Marolles-en-Brie walks

This hike will allow you to discover the countryside and architecture of Seine-et-Marne. There are pretty little hamlets to pass through. You are sure to enjoy this walk and all it has to offer.

This walk will allow you to discover the town of Coulommiers, its old houses, the Parc des Capucins, the Grand-Morin and its vannages, as well as the old slaughterhouse, which is currently being renovated. This is a walk without any particular difficulties.

Nineteenth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, entirely in Brie, and first stage of a series of three necessary to connect Coulommiers station to Provins station, with two nights on site. As accommodation options are limited in the middle of Brie, it is suggested for this stage to head to La Ferté-Gaucher aerodrome, which is slightly off the GR® route, near which there is a hotel-restaurant where it is possible to spend the night. Although this adds several kilometres to the stage, it offers a good compromise between the length of this stage and the following ones, the longest possible route on the GR® and the proximity to Provins. But this is not the only option, of course: see the Practical Information section for other suggestions.

After walking through the Parc des Capucins and a few paths in Coulommiers, climb up to the former Commandery of the Knights Templar.
