Noyen-sur-Seine walks

A route favouring small country roads, particularly during the hunting season. The route crosses the bridges over the Seine, the canal, and through the villages of Hermé, Port Montain and Noyen-sur-Seine, with its castle dating from 1553. No particular difficulties, and water points are available in the villages.

A gentle, almost flat circular route through the plain bathed by the Orvin, a small river which flows into the Seine. The farm tracks you’ll follow wind through this vast plain, taking you to the banks of the Seine at Athis and then along the Orvin.

Starting from the charming village of Chalautre-la-Petite, this is a short hike through fields and woods on both banks of the Ruisseau des Méances stream.

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 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.

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.

Twenty-third stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, and the first of a series of two stages, including this one, needed to connect the Longueville and Montereau stations, through the Montois and the Seine Valley.For this first stage of the diptych, we suggest spending the night in a bed and breakfast in Donnemarie-Dontilly, roughly halfway between the two stations, after a beautiful crossing of the Montois, in a landscape that is a little more varied and hilly than the Brie just to the north.

Built high up, the church of Saint-Loup dominates the village and can be seen from afar. This beautiful example of Romanesque architecture in the Île-de-France region is the destination of this walk, which takes you along country lanes and woodland paths, as well as village footpaths, and runs alongside streams and the grassy embankment of an underground aqueduct. A bucolic and heritage-rich hike in a peaceful setting.

A hike mainly through fields with a few passages through woods. There is some beautiful heritage in Sourdun (church, castle) and the route offers some beautiful views, albeit distant, of the Collegiate Church of Saint-Quiriace and the César Tower in Provins.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the medieval walls of Provins are worth a visit in their own right! This urban walk, enhanced by waterways, allows you to discover the town's main sites and monuments: ramparts, Romanesque church and Gothic collegiate church, former convent, and the famous César Tower. The route was designed by the Pays du Provinois Community of Communes and marked by the FFRP.

This easy walk takes you past all the interesting buildings in Provins, both in the upper and lower towns, and follows the streets with the finest clusters of half-timbered houses. The circular route rounds off this urban route with a countryside detour to a few points of interest, whilst also offering views of the upper town as a whole.

Twenty-second stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11. A short stage connecting Longueville to Provins, allowing you to rest after the long previous stages crossing Brie. As the stage is short, we suggest starting with a short circular loop through the old town of Provins to discover its rich heritage.

Through woods and fields to discover the Lunay Bridge from Léchelle.

A lovely circular route through the valleys and plateaus south of Provins, culminating in the gem that is Saint-Loup-de-Naud and its extraordinary carved gateway.

In this forest, the boundary markers bear the coats of arms of three lords: Cardinal Louis de Bourbon-Vendôme, the Briçonnet-Raguier couple and the de Belleville brothers. These boundary markers must have been set in the ground around 1550, following disputes over the respective boundaries of their estates.

A short 3 km loop, marked in pink, starting from the Church of Saint-Victor, built in the 12th century and renovated in the 16th century.You will take a path that leads to the wetland area where there is an unusual Gustave Eiffel-style wash house.This wetland area contains several bubbling springs.In the wash house itself, you can already see a few bubbling springs.By skirting around this wetland area, you will follow the Yonne river to take the towpath, then go around the Grand Varennes estate with its park and mill, before returning to the town hall and village square after discovering the house of the regicide Jacques-Clément.
