Pont de Billancourt walks

After following paths through the town, this walk from station to station offers the chance to discover the Meudon Observatory and admire the sweeping views from the terrace of its park. The rest of the route is mainly through forest.

The 1930s Trail was designed by the City of Boulogne-Billancourt. Discover a rich architectural heritage, thanks to the imagination of architects such as Le Corbusier, Courrèges, Mallet-Stevens and others. An original urban route that pays tribute to the creative movement of the interwar period.

Set off on a pleasant bike ride in the heart of the Hauts-de-Seine, combining contemporary art, greenery and local culture. This approximately 6-kilometre route connects the modernity of the Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt with the originality of the Playing Card Museum in Issy-les-Moulineaux, passing by the unusual Tour aux Figures on Île Saint-Germain.

The second section of the women's march of 5 October 1789 takes more liberties with the supposed route of the procession at the time. Starting in Sèvres and ending in Versailles, the route is distinctly urban, but between the two, it is predominantly forest. The Palace of Versailles is the highlight of this hike (with its park if you wish to take an extra detour).

From Pont de Sèvres to Pont de Saint-Cloud, with two long detours into the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud, with its woods and French gardens. The route also includes a stroll through the quiet streets of Sèvres, Ville d'Avray and Marnes-la-Coquette, with their beautiful heritage. The Étangs de Ville d'Avray offer a peaceful setting just a few kilometres from the urban centres.

A hike from station to station in the southern part of the Meudon Forest. The route alternates between wide paths and little-used trails where a good sense of direction is required. Along the way, you will pass four pleasant ponds and come across a small Neolithic menhir.

After enjoying the sweeping views from the Observatory Terrace, we wind our way through the many paths of Meudon. The Longs Réages cemetery holds a surprise in the form of a Neolithic dolmen converted into a modern burial site... This route ends along the Seine and on Île Seguin, where a concert hall complex with an apt name has now been built.

A short hike on the slopes of the Val de Seine, through the old Fort d'Issy, which has been redeveloped, the public gardens of Issy-les-Moulineaux and the paths and stairs of Meudon. An urban route with some elevation changes, offering beautiful views and a diverse heritage.

A hike through the 15th and 7th arrondissements of Paris in search of animal representations. We take a few busy streets, such as Rue du Commerce. Crossing the Champ de Mars offers a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.

For what will no doubt remain a long time to come, the names of Billancourt andÎleSeguin are associated with the Renault factories, which closed their doors in 1992. Boulogne-Billancourt’s industrial and working-class past is not limited to car manufacturing but also encompasses other sectors: laundries (to which we owe the fact that no railway line runs through the town), ice works, aeronautics, telecommunications equipment, cinema and the record industry… This urban walking tour, inspired by the brochure and information panels provided by the town’s Tourist Office, aims to retrace this working-class past. It also offers an opportunity to observe how the urban landscape of a town in the Petite Couronne of Paris has changed radically over the course of a few decades.
