Nangis walks

Across the Brie plain, discover a beautiful 13th-century church with fortification elements inherited from its Templar past.

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.

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.

This walk offers views of the Yerres, a priory, two wash houses and cows, alternating between woods and fields.

This hike takes you through the fields and woods of the Brie region, following the old railway line that once connected the Gare de la Bastille in Paris to Marles-en-Brie, north of this route.

A bucolic hike through woods, fields, meadows and gardens, playing leapfrog with the Yerres and Ru de Bréon rivers. Two village crossings and, in Chaumes-en-Brie, a tribute to the musicians of the Couperin family and a farm with surprising architecture in the heart of the Brie region.

A hike rich in heritage in the south of Brie. It starts at the old fortified castle of Blandy-les-Tours, which is in excellent condition, and ends with a visit to one of the most beautiful Gothic churches in the Île-de-France region. Two other churches, a chapel, another more recent castle and an old mill complete the picture. A route on a cultivated plateau, through woods and alongside the Ru d'Ancoeur.

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

Straddling the Voulzie and Ru des Méances rivers, this hike alternates between woodland and cultivated fields. The Chapelle de Lourps stands out from afar, while the Église de Chalmaison only reveals itself at the last moment. Two old water mills add to the charm of this route.

A hike from station to station that allows you to reach the town of Provins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on foot. From place to place, the route offers increasingly close views of the Upper Town of Provins. In a refreshing setting, the village of Chalautre-la-Petite also boasts an interesting heritage.

Alternating between fields and woods on either side of the Ru des Méances, this hike takes you to a 13th-century church and an old fountain, both dedicated to Saint Edme, who retired here at the end of his life.

A varied walk through fields, woods and the old town, where many eras coexist.

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.

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.

Hike from Liverdy-en-Brie via Retal, Courquetaine and La Marsange, alternating between wooded areas, farmland and urban passages, with two churches, two castles, a farm and a wash house.

Three small villages are marked on the map at each point of a right-angled triangle. This is an easy walk with no particular difficulties. There are no climbs, so no effort is required, and the flat countryside is full of charming little spots to discover.

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.

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.
