Pontarmé walks

A beautiful hike through the forests of Chantilly and Ermenonville on sandy paths lined with tall pine trees, giving it a Mediterranean charm.

A beautiful walk in the forest where you can see some remarkable trees and several boundary stones bearing coats of arms along the paths, bearing witness to the history of the Chantilly Forest. The walk also takes in the Fontaine d'Orry and the surroundings of Pontarmé Castle.

A very pleasant hike in a forest area consisting mainly of coppice woodland, which is ideal for game. Encounters with large animals such as wild boar, roe deer, does and stags are therefore quite frequent. Don't hesitate to take your camera with you.

It then crosses the residential area of Le Lys, continues through the Coye Forest and ends on the botanical trail along the ponds.

Chantilly is the largest racehorse training centre in Europe. The forest is criss-crossed by numerous galloping tracks that are usable all year round thanks to the quality of the sand. During this walk, you can appreciate the importance of this activity in the forest itself and in the plain bordering its northern edge. Beautiful views of the château, the Grandes Écuries and the Canal Saint-Jean add to the charm of the circuit.

This route is mainly through woodland, allowing you to explore the woods and golf courses around Chantilly and offering beautiful views of the Château de Chantilly estate.

Located mainly in the Oise Valley, this hike crosses the Bois de la Coharde forest at the end of the route. It allows you to discover a troglodyte village in Gouvieux and offers beautiful views of the Oise, Chantilly, Saint-Leu-d'Esserent and Saint-Maximin.

A shaded and easy hike through the woods and around Chantilly Castle, passing through the small villages of Courteuil and Avilly-Saint-Léonard with some points of interest such as the Table d'Apremont and, of course, the pleasure of seeing Chantilly Castle, its Grandes Écuries and its racecourse

Eleventh stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, connecting Chantilly-Gouvieux station to the village of Borest, reached by crossing the Chantilly estate, the Chantilly and Ermenonville forests, with a detour through the historic centre of Senlis and, optionally, a moment of reflection in front of the memorial to the victims of the March 1974 plane crash. The route follows, more or less closely, the Nonette River, which is crossed several times. The route for this stage is almost entirely in the forest, with little elevation gain, making it a very pleasant hike, and the crossings of Chantilly and Senlis add a rich touch of heritage. This stage requires an overnight stay to avoid laborious car manoeuvres. It is therefore the first of two consecutive stages, both entirely within the Oise department, between the Chantilly-Gouvieux and Crépy-en-Valois railway stations.

Another route to visit the medieval town of Senlis.

A fairly easy hike from Aumont-en-Halatte with a slight elevation gain, in the Halatte National Forest, skirting the village of Fleurines. Two beautiful viewpoints along the route, best enjoyed in summer when the weather is warm.

This hike allows you to discover the biodiversity of the western part of the Halatte National Forest, including the different species of coniferous and deciduous trees that make it up. The route winds through a hilly massif that offers some beautiful views.

Discover the armoured boundary stones along the forest trails...

One abbey, two castles, two churches, one river, one lake, three rural villages and the Forest of Coye. In 1140 , Ascelin, known as "the Hermit", lord of Marly-la-Ville , left his castle in Marly and retired to this then inhospitable place (locum horroris et vaste solituninis) called Herremivallis, the hermit's valley. He already owned part of the land, and the Counts of Beaumont and Clermont willingly ceded the rest to him. Joined by other companions, they cleared the land located in a wooded depression forming a valley through which several springs flowed, and founded the Abbey of Hérivaux.

This hike allows you to discover the beautiful Halatte Forest with its oak and beech trees and to get close to some of its curiosities. They all bear witness to human presence and activity since the dawn of time. Along the route, on the heights of Mont Pagnotte, beautiful views await you.

Twelfth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR® 11, connecting the village of Borest to Crépy-en-Valois station, both in the Oise department. This long stage consists of crossing the Valois region to Crépy-en-Valois, mainly through agricultural plains and wooded areas.

A hike alternating between countryside, forest and villages. The route passes in front of Hérivaux Castle, the abbey and the remains of an old 13th-century mill (a marker indicates the location of the mill). Cross the village of Bellefontaine with the banks of the Ysieux and the lake.
