Marolles-sur-Seine walks

A short walk starting from the beautiful church in Marolles-sur-Seine, an excuse for a leisurely stroll or a picnic by the water.

Circular mountain bike route along the banks of the Yonne, starting from Cannes-Écluses.Ideal for families as it runs alongside the river, is flat and features numerous picnic tables and benches along the route.The route alternates between tarmac roads (a minority), gravel roads and dirt tracks.

A circular route through the plains and some woodland of La Brosse-Montceau. Here you can admire the Château de La Brosse and a few historic wells. The route runs alongside part of the aqueduct, some of which is buried and some of which is above ground.

A hike with a water theme! First, across fields, you will pass sand pits and disused quarries that have been transformed into vast ponds. The second part takes place entirely along the Yonne, which you follow for about 7 km. Two churches and two castles complete the picture nicely.

A pleasant walk offering varied scenery. The outward journey mostly follows the Yonne towpath. The return route alternates between fields, wooded areas and bodies of water. You’ll often come across wildlife (rabbits, hares, squirrels, numerous species of birds and, if you’re lucky, deer).

A cycle ride along the Seine on the towpath, following the right bank all the way. Pass the Grande Paroisse leisure centre, continue on to Champagne-sur-Seine and cross the Seine. Follow the left bank for a short while, near Saint-Mammès, then head towards Moret-du-Loing and the Canal du Loing, and reach Montereau by following the Yonne for a short stretch.

A three-stage walk from station to station. First, you cross the town of Montereau, the highlight being the Gothic collegiate church and the double bridge at the confluence of the Seine and the Yonne. Next, you follow the towpath, which is mostly shaded. Finally, you climb to a higher elevation before descending to Vernou-sur-Seine station. (Please note) Just before (9), the underpass beneath the railway line is closed (see the comment posted on 21 July 2026). Until this obstruction is cleared, one option is to turn right to find a level crossing. Once you have crossed the tracks safely, follow the D39 to the left until you reach point (9).

This is the first stage of the Via Burgundia®, which takes you across the whole of Burgundy from Montereau-Fault-Yonne to Mâcon, south of Saône-et-Loire. This major route, covering almost 500 km, is divided into three sections: the Yonne section, the Morvan section and, finally, the Southern Burgundy section. This first section follows the course of the River Yonne from its confluence with the River Seine to Pont-sur-Yonne. It involves very little elevation gain but remains a fairly long stage if you cover it in a single day. The route winds its way along the River Yonne, past fields of cereals and ponds (or ‘noues’), particularly after Bichain.

A walking route from station to station, starting at Montereau Fault-Yonne station and ending at Villeneuve-la-Guyard along the River Yonne, allowing you to explore the ponds and marshes near the finish. A peaceful, quiet walk along the water’s edge, passing through the village of Misy-sur-Yonne, which is known for its historic site.

This is the twenty-fifth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, starting from Montereau station, not far from the confluence of the Seine and the Yonne, and ending at Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons station, not far from the confluence of the Seine and the Loing. The stage, entirely on the GR®11, follows a route on the left bank of the Seine, joining the Orvanne valley a little further south, and returns to Moret-sur-Loing and its beautiful historic centre, following the Canal du Loing on its towpath.

Hiking around Varenne-sur-Seine. The trails leading to springs, mills and wash houses complete this circuit, passing by the Noue Notre-Dame leisure centre and the botanical garden with its castle.

Passing through the Seiglats Regional Nature Reserve on this hike, you will see a variety of birds, including birds of prey and passerines, as well as locks along the banks of the Seine and Yonne rivers and ponds.

A hike through fields for the most part, which conceals a very rich heritage: three Romanesque churches, an old mill, an old watchtower, a castle and a menhir. Five metal crosses mark the route around the pretty, flower-filled village of Flagy.

Hike along the banks of the Orvanne from Thoury to Flagy. Discover Flagy and the Pierre Cornoise menhir.

Between woods and fields, discover three of the oldest churches in the Ile-de-France region. The approach to the church of Paroy, isolated on its hill, offers a beautiful sight. Two other churches, a few wash houses and old wells, and beautiful farmhouses complete this heritage-rich hike.
