Montereau-Fault-Yonne walks

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.

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

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.

Running parallel to the Orvanne river, this hike takes place mainly through fields, with sections along the edge of woods and through pretty villages.

Visit the medieval town of Moret-sur-Loing coming from Saint-Mammès along the banks of the Loing. Return along the banks of the Seine. Check the opening hours of the Pont Loup museum. Please note: on Sunday mornings, there is a market in the car park. The route has been significantly modified to take into account various passages that have become unusable by pedestrians and to avoid walking along the railway line on the way back, without walking too much on tarmac.

A day's hike to enjoy the charm of the southern part of the Forest of Fontainebleau, combining rocky trails, beautiful woodland paths and the historical interest of villages and small towns (Bourron-Marlotte, Veneux-les-Sablons).

Hike in the Forest of Fontainebleau, with no difficulty except for a short steep climb, away from the busy paths and perfectly marked from start to finish.

Twenty-sixth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, connecting the Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons and Fontainebleau-Avon stations through the Fontainebleau Forest, bypassing the town of Fontainebleau. During this crossing of the forest, we will walk along wide shaded paths, steep trails through sandstone blocks, and a few interesting viewpoints.

A hike from station to station, mainly through a section of the Fontainebleau Forest that is not among the most frequented. The forest route alternates between wide paths and trails that wind through rocky terrain. Before that, the crossing of Thomery offers beautiful heritage sites, including its grape walls and some beautiful views of the Seine.

A loop offering beautiful views of the Seine and its valley! After an initial section in the forest, the trail follows a pleasant path along the riverbank, offering superb panoramic views. The hike ends on the banks of the Seine, with a picturesque passage on the small island of Basses Godernes.

This is an easy, short hike, offering the opportunity to discover some beautiful wash houses and the banks of the Orvanne. Children who are used to walking and older people can keep up.

Variation of the "From vineyards to orchards in the Javot valley" hike available on the FFRP Seine-et-Marne hiking website.

After a short climb up Mont Marion, you will skirt around the Plaine de Sorques, which is a sensitive natural area and a bird sanctuary.

An easy, almost entirely flat hike from Episy to Ecuelles via theGR® de Pays du Lunain, passing behind the Episy aerodrome. The return journey is along the towpath beside the Canal du Loing. This route is easily manageable for a brave child.

A circular route around the Étang de la Genevraye and a visit to the Marais d'Episy, which presents no difficulty.

Twenty-fourth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, starting from Donnemarie-Dontilly after spending the night there at the end ofthe previous stage. This stage connects the Montois region to the Seine Valley and Montereau-Fault-Yonne, the confluence of the Seine and Yonne rivers. It thus transitions from an agricultural landscape to a marshland landscape in the valley, ending in a more urban environment.

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.

A circuit to the east of Lorrez-le-Bocage, along the Lunain in places with views of Lorrez-le-Bocage both to the south and north. The starting point is the car park in Place de la République in Lorrez-le-Bocage.
