A short but challenging hike in a small departmental forest with a diversity of landscapes worthy of its larger neighbour, Fontainebleau: varied undergrowth, rocky outcrops and climbing boulders, old sandstone quarries, flat rock formations, viewpoints, etc.

This hike alternates between forest, the Parc de l'Abbaye du Lys and the animal park at Château Soubiran in Dammarie.

This flat hike allows you to discover the northern part of the Rougeau Forest and stroll through the beautiful and very interesting grounds of the Château de la Grange-la-Prévôté, which belonged to Marshal Bernadotte.

A short hike that takes you to a beautiful lake and through beautiful forests and rocky landscapes. A 2 km loop is wheelchair accessible (see the practical information section).

This hike will allow you to discover a wide variety of landscapes on a relatively short route, as well as some historical remains along the way.

A loop that starts with a steep climb between the rocks, then alternates between forest and plateau sections and shorter sections between fields. After a stretch along the edge of the woods, the hike ends on the wide grassy bank of the underground aqueduct of La Vanne and Le Loing.

Barbizon, the city of painters. There are numerous frescoes on the walls of the Grande Rue, depicting the paintings of our great artists. And there is a natural rock sculpture representing "the Elephant".

This circuit offers a large loop that connects Barbizon to the Rocher de Milly, passing through Isatis and the Rochers des Sablons (very beautiful sandstone quarries). It then joins the Hurlevent viewpoint, crosses the beautiful and wild Touche aux Mulets plateau, then, after crossing the Rocher de Milly again, reaches Franchard, the Gorges d'Apremont and the André Billy viewpoint. Many "wild" and unfrequented sections.

A very varied walk, from the heights of Cuvier Chatillon (beautiful view of the Camp de Chailly) to the banks of the Seine at Bois-le-Roi, and back. Several magnificent trees, including a Japanese Cryptomeria on the road to the Table du Grand Maître and some large oaks below the Point de Vue du Camp de Chailly. Magnificent passage through the Rochers de Cuvier Châtillon (north side).

The most beautiful and rocky part of the Denecourt-Colinet trail No. 5 is completed by a circular loop around the massif with views of Camp de Chailly and Rocher Canon. Please note! The automatic calculation underestimates the twists and turns of the rocky Denecourt-Colinet trails. Allow for 19 km and 400 m of elevation gain.

This hike alternates between the rocks of Fontainebleau, the undergrowth, the banks of the Seine with the "Affolantes" of Bois-le-Roi (the beautiful villas), and a return via the Mare aux Évées. Please note: the Rocher Canon becomes very crowded at weekends when the weather is good.

Loop in the north of the Fontainebleau Forest, between Rocher Canon, Camp de Chailly, Cuvier-Rempart, Mare à Piat, and Rocher Saint-Germain. Interesting rocks, remarkable trees, varied views.

This circuit connects the Gorges d'Apremont and the Gorges de Franchard, passing by the beautiful viewpoint of Camp d'Arbonne and offering a little-known view of the Désert d'Apremont. It uses some sections of the Denecourt-Colinet trails, runs along some peaceful paths with poetic names and passes by the beautiful Mare aux Sangliers.

Fontainebleau forest is one of the most beautiful French forests thanks to its varied landscapes and, in particular, its sandstone blocks. This hike circles the Apremont gorges along the Colinet-Denecourt path N°6 and lets you enjoy it in all its beauty and fragility, the latter due both to natural erosion and human use, and is near the Paris region.

An original way to get to the Château de Courances: on foot! This short hike goes around the outside of the park, with the first half rich in heritage (churches, mill, wash house, etc.) and the second half more bucolic, ending on an educational trail dedicated to fruit trees.

A short hike that alternates between forest and fields, with a pleasant route on a plateau. You can see a Neolithic polishing stone and an old sandstone quarry.
