This walk, part of the GR® 75, allows you to discover a large number of parks situated on the edge of Paris’s southern ring road. It serves as an intermediate stage and allows you to explore the southernmost section of the GR®. There are many notable spots along theGR® and in the surrounding area, such as the Butte aux Cailles, Montsouris Park and the Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil. As you pass through the many parks, you’ll feel as though you’re far removed from the city.

Departure from Paris
From the Port de Javel, the banks of the Seine are not particularly suitable for a stroll… So you head away from the river to cross three large parks: André Citroën, Suzanne Lenglen and Île Saint-Germain. You then rejoin the towpath with its many moored barges. The walk ends with a brief detour into Saint-Cloud Park before crossing the Seine via the bridge of the same name.

These spaces offer a real breath of fresh air, just a stone’s throw from the city centre. At 50 kilometres long, some people complete it in a single day.
