From Meulan to Triel, from station to station

A lovely walk along the banks of the Seine, passing through pretty villages such as Evecquemont. The starting point and finishing point are two stations on the same SNCF line.

Description of the walk

Departure from Thun-le-Paradis station (Transilien line J, on the section between Paris-Saint-Lazare and Mantes-la-Jolie via Conflans-Sainte-Honorine).

(S) When you leave the station, go up the stairs opposite and follow Rue du Chemin Vert. At the end, turn right, cross the street and continue along Rue de la Ferme du Paradis. Then turn left onto Allée des Cottages. At the end, turn right onto Allée des Marguerites. At the end, turn left and, after about 30 metres, turn right onto Impasse des Réservoirs, which runs alongside the cemetery. At the end, turn left onto Rue des Carriers.

(1) Cross this street and follow it to the right. After a few metres, turn left onto Rue de l'Ormeteau. Then turn right onto Rue de Pontoise. At the roundabout, take Rue du Clos Villiers, then go straight ahead through a narrow passage to reach the D922. This is protected by a high fence. Follow it for 50 metres to reach a tunnel that allows you to pass under the D922, then take the flight of steps.

(2) Before the right-hand bend, take the road on the left towards Tessancourt. At the fork, turn right onto Route de Meulan (or the old Route de Meulan). You will come to a junction with Rue du Pré aux Loups coming from the left.

(3) Then follow theGR®1-GR®2which climbs up to your right (red and white markings). Stay on the marked path heading south-east.

(4) Cross the D922 and continue straight ahead on theGR®. Pass by the Évecquemont church and continue on Rue d'Adhémar. At the exit of Evecquemont, do not take the road that goes downhill. Stay on the hill towards Fort Vache via Rue des Bouillons and then Chemin des Bois Bouillons.

(5) Cross the road and continue towards the Siremballage factories. After about 150 metres, turn right down Rue du Plan de Fort Vache.

(6) Cross the D17 and continue down Chemin des Fortes Terres. At the end, turn right onto Chemin des Plâtrières and then, at the bottom of the stairs, turn left onto Rue Auguste Dolnet (no street sign...). At the fork, follow Chemin des Hulins to the right. Continue left along Chemin des Rois. Then turn sharply right onto Rue du Temple and arrive at the foot of the railway viaduct.

(7) Do not go under the viaduct, but turn left to walk alongside it and climb the hill via Rue du Bel Air. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead. When a path comes from the left, turn right.

(8) At one point, a path appears on your left, while on your right you can see a building: just after the telecoms pylon, take the path on the left. Then take the first path on the right and continue to a place called Les Beauregards.

(9) At the crossroads, turn right onto Rue des Bois. Walk along the cemetery and then turn left onto Place des Marronniers.

(10) At the end, turn right onto Rue de l'Hautil and leave theGR®. At the fork, take Rue Gallieni on the left. Follow this street to the footbridge that leads to Triel-sur-Seine station (E).

Notes

Check train timetables on the Transilien website. Motorists can park their cars in the car park at the departure station or the arrival station and make a one-way or return trip by train.

Worth a visit

Don't hesitate to walk through some of the old porches in Evecquemont, where you'll find small passageways and courtyards that instantly transport you back in time.
The church in Triel-sur-Seine is also worth a quick detour (off the route).

Hello, thank you for this great hike. Thank you for the detailed description, which makes up for the sparse signage on the GR trail. The first part is quite urban, while the second part is more rural.
Note on (1): after ... turn left onto Rue de l'Ormeteau. Then turn right onto Rue de Pontoise, then at the roundabout onto Rue du Clos Villiers, then straight ahead, a narrow passageway leads to the D922. This is protected by a high fence. Follow it for 50 metres to reach a tunnel that takes you under the D922, then take the flight of steps and (2) turn right onto the road towards Tessancourt... (there must have been accidents, as the D922 is very busy).
Note on (4): on leaving Evecquemont, do not take the road that goes downhill, but head towards Fort Vache via Rue des Bouillons and then Chemin des Bois Bouillons.
Note on (6):... turn right onto Chemin des Platrières and then, at the bottom of the stairs, turn left onto Rue Auguste Dolnet (no sign...)
Note on (8): ... just after the Telecom pylon, take the path on the left....

The second part of the route is interesting, but this walk remains very urban, too much so for my taste. For our first outing after lockdown, we were hoping for more peace and quiet and greenery. The section through the shopping area is particularly unpleasant.

Hello Fabullot

Out of respect for the volunteer hikers who take the time to create hikes, you could use a more cordial tone in your comment.
Try creating walks yourself and you will see that it is not that simple.

Just one comment about the signposting. When you come down the Chemin des Fortes Terres, at the junction with the Chemin des Jeunes Plants there is a pylon with a red and white cross indicating that you are on the wrong road. This sign, placed on the Chemin des Fortes Terres and not on the Chemin des Jeunes Plants, is somewhat misleading as it suggests that you should not go straight ahead but turn right or left. In fact, after making the mistake, I continued straight ahead and found the Plâtrières path a little further on...
In any case, thank you for this very pleasant hike not far from Paris!

A list of streets is useless since their names are not indicated at junctions. Use letters on the map and describe the route!
To reach the GR, at the beginning, you take us along very busy roads as if we were drivers! Find paths within the village!
Several left/right errors and numerous unmarked junctions. No reliable landmarks. For example, the beautiful double wash house in Evecquemont (among others...).
It's a shame, because the Véxin is so beautiful!

Too urban for my taste, lots of tarmac and housing estates, unclear directions at the start of the walk:
Allée des Cottages on the left, not on the right
Allée des Marguerites on the right, not the left
Some interesting views of the Seine valley, pretty village of Evecquemont with some architecture typical of wine-growing villages.

The Vexin region is as beautiful as ever. Evecqmont is a village with breathtaking and truly interesting architecture.
Just a bit of mud on the way down to Triel.

The only difference was that we drove to the start of the hike. We had also planned to park another car in Triel for the finish.
