Remarkable trees of the royal hunts of Sénart
Some of these trees have probably seen the royal hunting parties pass by! This hike is partly like a treasure hunt. The remarkable trees are usually located a few dozen metres from the forest paths and require a little effort to discover. But the beauty of these specimens quickly makes you forget the difficulties. The route is further enhanced by passing close to two 18th-century castles.
The Forest of Rougeau and the Château de la Grange-la-Prévôté

A town in the countryside: Tigery
Tigery, a large agricultural village, is gradually becoming urbanised and encroaching on the rich farmland of Brie. This walk allows you to discover both sides of the village, then crosses fields and forest to reach the Ru des Hauldres, which you follow upstream to a wetland area with ponds, fauna and flora. The return journey takes you through a reed bed, then down the stream that winds through the Sénart National Forest to Lake Tigery.

From La Ferté-Alais to Mennecy via the ponds
This hike is certainly the most "aquatic" of those that can be undertaken along the Essonne. Indeed, numerous ponds punctuate the route: ponds for fishing or other forms of leisure; ponds and marshes that make up a protected natural area, a source of biodiversity and a place to observe wildlife.
