From station to station: Bagneaux-sur-Loing to Nemours via the Rochers de Beauregard
A very varied walk, with the first third through a beautiful forest, then a landscape that gradually becomes more varied, with rocks strongly reminiscent of those at Fontainebleau. There is also a very beautiful plateau and large sandy hollows.
There is the option of a visit, en route, to the Museum of Prehistory and, towards the end of the route, the old town of Nemours with its castle, the branches of the Loing and its canal.
The paths and trails are mainly on well-drained sandy ground, so they are not muddy, even after rain. Most sections are well signposted,GR® or PR®.

From Souppes-sur-Loing to Nemours via the Beauregards rocks
A hike from station to station, mainly through woodland. After climbing up a wooded valley and crossing a cultivated plateau, you follow a very winding route through rocky chaos that is every bit as impressive as that of the neighbouring Forest of Fontainebleau. Passing through the village of Poligny and the town centre of Nemours adds a lovely touch of heritage.
The Fusain Valley

From the Sorques plain (a nature reserve on the banks of the Loing), it joins Route Blue No. 11 via little-used paths and, along the way, offers a beautiful view of the southern part of the forest with its "Table du Roi", before reaching Haut-Mont (two very different viewpoints).
As is often the case in Bleau, the landscape changes almost at every junction...

An easy hike with two bird observatories at the Plaine de Sorques, a sensitive natural area.
Bring binoculars.

From Montigny to Thomery via Long Rocher and Malmontagne
A hike from station to station through the eastern part of the Forest of Fontainebleau, which is not the most popular area of this forest. The forest trail alternates between wide paths and trails that wind through rocky terrain. Several viewpoints offer extensive panoramic views.
From Montigny-sur-Loing to Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons
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.

From Bourron-Marlotte to Bois-le-Roi through the Forest of Fontainebleau
A south-to-north traverse of the Forest of Fontainebleau, from station to station! The long route showcases all aspects of this vast forest: high forests of various species, heathland plateaus, ponds, sweeping views and, of course, rocky outcrops.
N.B. Due to the winding paths through the rocky sections, the distance and elevation gain are likely underestimated: expect around 30km and between 300 and 400m of elevation gain.
From Bourron-Marlotte to Nemours via Dame Jouanne
A hike from station to station, mainly through forest, crossing the rocky chaos of Maunoury, Dame Jouanne and Éléphant, which are every bit as impressive as those in the neighbouring Fontainebleau Forest. The village of Larchant, with its church and a few old houses, adds a superb touch of heritage.
