Noisy-le-Grand walks

This route makes us forget that we are in one of the most densely populated and urban departments in France! Most of the route is on footpaths, shared in places with cyclists, along the Marne and in the Parc de la Haute-Ile, which promotes the preservation of biodiversity.

Discover the Bois Saint-Martin. This woodland, managed by the Île-de-France region, has been open to the public since October 2021. It spans three departments: Seine-Saint-Denis (Noisy-le-Grand), Val-de-Marne (Plessis, Trévise, Villiers-sur-Marne) and Seine-et-Marne (Émerainville). You will discover areas preserved for wildlife, large oak trees and the region's ponds.

A hike in three very different parts. From Noisiel station to Yvris station, the route is mainly wooded and damp in places. Then you cross Le Plessis-Trévise, avoiding the main roads but remaining in a very urbanised area. Finally, you follow the paths and lanes of Champigny before walking along the Marne.

A beautiful walk from station to station (RER line A) along the landscaped banks of the Marne. This walk can be done in either direction.

Val Maubuée is one of the areas of the new town of Marne-la-Vallée. This walk takes you through the different areas that make up the town: apartment blocks, housing estates, parks and gardens, woods and forests, wetlands and ponds. There are beautiful views to enjoy along the way.

After walking along the Marne from Champigny station, we stroll through Old Saint-Maur and visit the remains of the former abbey that gave the town its name. The walk ends at the water's edge, along the Saint-Maur Canal and then, once again, the Marne.

This is mainly an urban route that starts on the banks of the Marne. It then climbs up to take paths between gardens and enjoy extensive views of the eastern suburbs of Paris. After the Church of Saint-Pierre and the Château d'Ormesson, it crosses the green Morbras Park.

This hike takes you through the various parks and gardens, woods and ponds of Val Maubuée (Lognes, Torcy, Noisiel and Champs s/Marne), from station to station between Lognes and Noisiel.There are some beautiful views along the way, including ponds, the Menier chocolate factory and Noisiel Park. Please note: check the opening times of Noisiel Park (see "Practical Information" below).Picnics are permitted in the park.

This part of the Marne Valley is home to the Vaires-sur-Marne Regional Leisure Centre and the Parc de la Haute-Ile in Neuilly-sur-Marne. Its appeal lies in the variety of landscapes dominated by the presence of water. The proposed route can be broken down into three hikes of different lengths (8km, 13km or 22km) depending on the time you have available. Even the shortest hike allows you to discover interesting sites.

A short walk through the streets, alleys and paths of Fontenay-sous-Bois. Located on the site of former gypsum quarries, the Ecoparc offers a calm and exotic atmosphere as well as a beautiful panorama. The Parc de l'Hôtel de Ville, with its water features and a few paths lined with beautiful pavilions, completes the picture.

A short hike in an urban setting, from station to station, along the Marne and on one of its islands. A walk punctuated by bridges and the many rowing clubs located on the banks.

The commune of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés lies entirely within a bend in the Marne. This walk, from station to station, follows almost the entire length of this bend. It can be enjoyed in all seasons and showcases the river and its islands, the residential neighbourhoods along its banks and Charles Trénet, who lived here for part of his life.

This route alternates between urban areas, favouring small streets and paths, and three public gardens, each with its own unique characteristics. It is also an opportunity to discover Montreuil's horticultural and arboricultural past.

An 11 km walk with a shaded route, some unusual discoveries in the Bois de Vincennes and facilities dedicated to culture and sport. At the end of the walk, you can enjoy a drink at the UCPA equestrian centre.

A hike in the Bois de Vincennes. Starting from the Kiosque de Gravelle, after a circular loop through the Arboretum, enjoy a panoramic view of Vincennes from the Belvédère du Bois. Walk along the Allée Royale with a view of the château and return to the car park via the small paths.

Discover the Domaine de Rentilly with its three distinct landscaped areas: the English-style park, the French-style perspective and the forest, then continue your hike through the agricultural lands of the Vallon de Bussy-Saint-Martin, passing by the Broce and Loy ponds.

Discover some of the towns in the Val de Bussy (Ville Nouvelle de Marne-la-Vallée): Bussy-Saint-Martin with the Rentilly Cultural Park, Bussy-Saint-Georges with its footpaths and alleys reserved for pedestrians, Guermantes and its castle, Conches-sur-Gondoire and Gouvernes. The varied route alternates between countryside and urban areas where pedestrians have plenty of space.

This hike, starting from Vaujours, allows you to enjoy the attractions of the Bondy Regional Forest as well as beautiful landscapes over the Plaine de France to the north and the Marne valley to the south.

This hike from Vaujours to the Moulin de Montfermeil, via the Promenade de la Dhuis and the Forêt de Bondy, often follows marked paths known as the Chemins de Cosette, in reference to Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables, in which these places served as the setting for the meeting of the two main characters: Cosette and Jean Valjean. Beyond this literary reference, the route, often along the upper reaches of the rolling hills, offers some very pretty views.
