Montépilloy walks

From the keep of Montépilloy, you can admire the entire Valois plain and the Massif des Trois Forêts.

Twelfth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR® 11, connecting the village of Borest to Crépy-en-Valois station, both in the Oise department. This long stage consists of crossing the Valois region to Crépy-en-Valois, mainly through agricultural plains and wooded areas.

Hike in a forest massif located on a hill and composed mainly of beech and oak trees. The southern and northern edges offer beautiful panoramic views of the Valois agricultural plateau and the Oise Valley.

A walk around and on Mont Pagnotte focusing on its points of interest, notably five ancient fountains and a dolmen. An opportunity to discover a wide variety of forest habitats too. Places to see: Fontaine Blanche, Le Rocher au Sanglier, the Chancy Dolmen, Fontaine du Pied Dufaux, Fontaine Saint-Barthélemy, Fontaine d’Yvillers and finally Fontaine Aubert.

This loop, starting from Villers-Saint-Frambourg, takes place in the Forêt d'Halatte. The paved forest roads follow the dirt tracks. We climb Mont Pagnotte via the south face. After a long descent, we go around the mountain to climb it again, but this time via the north face. The ascent is less difficult as it follows a beautiful path. After a long descent, we return to our starting point.

This hike allows you to discover the beautiful Halatte Forest with its oak and beech trees and to get close to some of its curiosities. They all bear witness to human presence and activity since the dawn of time. Along the route, on the heights of Mont Pagnotte, beautiful views await you.

From Jean-Jacques Rousseau Park to the druidic stones in the forest...

A long and beautiful route, very varied, mainly through woodland but also with sections across fields, past remarkable sites (Ermenonville Castle, Chaalis Abbey), through beautiful oak groves, and through ‘Fontainebleau’-style landscapes with rocky outcrops and sandy sections. A hike intended for very experienced walkers. The terrain is, however, easy and there are many shortcuts available.

A hike in a forest in Picardy where the pines loom large. There are also beautiful sites covered in heather and sandstone blocks. The soil, often sandy, allows for hiking in winter without difficulty.

This hike is mainly in the forest, favouring trails in hilly terrain. The circuit passes through large pine forests with undergrowth of heather and ferns providing a beautiful variety of colours. The ground is often very sandy, making it easy to hike in winter.

Short walk in the Halatte National Forest from Fleurines via Mont Pagnotte and the hamlet of Saint Christophe. The former priory of Saint-Christophe is now the main feature of Fleurines' architectural heritage and is listed as a historic monument . The commune also boasts a rich natural and landscape heritage and is part of a natural area of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest (ZNIEFF). Since its creation in 2004, Fleurines has also been part of the Oise Pays de France Regional Nature Park.

This hike is long enough to showcase all aspects of the Halatte forest: tall beech and oak trees, coppice with oak trees and lime trees in the undergrowth, and large cultivated clearings, the largest of which is Fleurines. Most of the route follows the beautiful forest roads that were built several centuries ago.

A short walk in the Ermenonville Forest, starting from the car park on Route du Boisdhyver, not far from Ver-sur-Launette.

The church is open to the public
