Montereau-Fault-Yonne walks

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.

Rising between Forterre and Puisaye, and after a course of more than 150 kilometres, the Loing flows into the Seine to the south-east of the Forest of Fontainebleau. This rather short route runs alongside these two rivers and the Canal du Loing for much of its length. A section through the forest adds variety to the landscape. The beautiful old Saint-Mammès Church and a few reproductions of paintings by Alfred Sisley add an undeniable touch of heritage to this walk.

La visite de la ville médiévale de Moret-sur-Loing en venant de Saint-Mammès par les bords du Loing. Retour par les bords de Seine.

The Rocher des Princes is a medium-difficulty loop in the pretty Fontainebleau Forest. It alternates between fairly steep climbs and descents with flat paths, allowing you to rest between the difficult sections.

A rural hike that alternates between old villages, former quarries, forest and the banks of the Seine. Return via a tarmac road, which is theoretically private and therefore has very little traffic, even though the "no entry" signs have disappeared.

A hike from station to station starting from Montigny-sur-Loing. A varied route through the forest with a few rocks and the banks of the Loing. The Loing valley is an authentic green paradise that can be explored over a medium distance via footpaths, rural tracks and towpaths. This route takes you along the river and the canal of the same name, which flow side by side until they meet the Seine.

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.

Mostly dating from the late Middle Ages, fortified farms are a typical part of the architectural heritage of the Brie region. This walk takes you past several such farms, including the Fief de Bois-Poussin stronghold, and gives you the chance to discover the rich heritage of Nangis with its ancient fortified castle, church and market halls. The walk takes you along paths between fields and small roads with little traffic, and along the banks of the brooks that wind through this farming plain.

Poligny Forest, at the southern end of the Fontainebleau Forest. A hike of less than 8 km, alternating between rocky and flat terrain. Discover a beautiful panorama of the Loing Valley. A very shaded circuit.
