Plaisir walks
Bois de Saint-Apolline at Château de Plaisir
A short walk through the woods will take you to Saint-Pierre-de-Plaisir Church and Plaisir Castle.
Elancourt-Maurepas
Short hike in the Île-de-France region, from Élancourt Village to the Courance de Maurepas pond.
The outward journey follows the left bank of the Ru d'Elancourt, the return journey follows the right bank.
The first part (from (S) to (3)) can no longer be done. The entire Elancourt hill (la Revanche) is under construction in preparation for the Olympic Games and is therefore closed to hiking. This will remain the case until 2025... See reviews

Return to the starting point via the Beynes forest.
Loops of Feucherolles and the western part of the Marly Forest

The slopes of the Mauldre
A hike on the slopes of both banks of the Mauldre, a tributary of the Seine between the Plaine de Versailles and the Mantois. The route, consisting of two loops, alternates between residential areas, forests and fields. A rich heritage, partly linked to water, can be discovered along the way: an old fortified castle, old mills, a siphon bridge, farm buildings, a church, etc.
From the Priory of Saint-Nicolas to the Maltoute Fountain
A short walk along the streams of the Plaine de Versailles, including the Ru de Gally, which rises in the castle grounds. The charming village of Rennemoulin boasts a chapel, a wash house and an old bridge, while the Fontaine de Maltoute is a pleasant place to stop and rest in the shade.

It's a very varied walk, combining nature, culture, history, tourism and curiosities. All of which means you won't miss a mile. And if you're lucky enough to do it in good weather, you'll come home feeling like you've just been on holiday.
Following the Bièvre river through Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines in Igny
The upstream part of this series of three hikes devoted to the Bièvre river. A very pleasant walk along the river and its bodies of water, in a mostly rural setting. A hike from station to station, which can be used to adjust the length depending on the weather conditions or desires of the hikers.
Tour in the north-west of the Chevreuse Valley
A very beautiful hike to discover the wonderful rural and natural landscape of the north-west of the Chevreuse Valley, offering a radical change of scenery from the urban and commercial area of Coignières.
Les Granges de Port-Royal and the Rhodon Valley
A short forest hike in two stages. After a lovely view of the former Port-Royal-des-Champs Abbey, you climb up the Vallon du Rodhon on a path and trails that wind through the undergrowth. The hike then follows the wide paths of the Port-Royal Forest.
The tour of the great oak trees in Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche
Around Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche station - Marly Forest, a walk in a beautiful deciduous forest. It suffered greatly from the great storm of 1999, which flattened the oak trees on the motorway like straw, but this hike has a high density of remarkable trees (oaks, hornbeams, beeches). As the Marly forest is crossed by several busy roads, this hike focuses on the quietest part. It also offers a few viewpoints.
La Croix Saint-Michel in the Forest of Marly
A mainly forest route with several remarkable trees here and there. The site of the Croix Saint-Michel offers a view stretching as far as Paris. A short but fairly challenging hike, given the alternating ascents and descents (the total elevation gain is probably underestimated; allow for around 200m).
Woods, countryside and heritage around the Ru du Pommeret
A short hike in the Upper Chevreuse Valley, rich in heritage and offering beautiful views of the Vallon du Pommeret and the wooded hills that surround it.
The Mérantaise Valley

Les Tailles d'Herbelay
A pleasant hike through the forest and along a golf course in a little-known part of the Marly National Forest.
Fourqueux - Marly Forest - a circuit for when the paths are muddy

This allows you to hike in the forest without having to surf on paths full of water and mud in winter.
The Roselière (reed beds) of Maincourt
At the heart of the Chevreuse Valley Natural Park, a hike that allows you to wander through a protected natural site with a trail laid out by the Park. In the Bois de Maincourt, one can see ancient sandstone quarries. The course of the river Yvette, which the trail follows on the way back, finally allows a patrimonial approach with old mills and old washhouses.
Follow the Yvette from Essarts-le-Roi to Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse
A hike from station to station that takes us to the source of the River Yvette and then up and down through the woods that frame its valley. The route crosses the Maincourt Marsh and then an area of rocky chaos. The forest trails are interspersed with villages and hamlets rich in heritage.
The Madeleine Forest and Port-Royal-des-Champs Abbey
