Description of the walk

Start at the forest entrance at the junction of Rue René Coty, which leads up from the town hall, and Rue Frédéric Mistral. Parking is available along the latter.

(S/E) Take the forest path into the woods until you reach the Allée Royale.

(1) Turn left uphill, then turn left again, following the red and yellow markings (GRP®) to take a short detour via Mont Griffon.

(2) Back on the Allée Royale, turn left, cross the Allée du Général Lejeune and continue until you reach the Allée du Grand Ha-Ha.

(3) Take this path by turning right and continue until you reach the ditch and wall marking the boundary of the Château de la Grange.

(4) Turn left and follow the wall until you reach a small junction marked by a signpost, where you turn right, continuing to follow the estate’s boundary wall until you reach the D94.

(5) Turn left just before the road, then left again to take the path running alongside the high-speed rail line.

(6) Take the first path on the left, then follow theGRP® markings to rejoin the boundary wall. Return along the same route as on the way out until you reach the start of the boundary wall.

(4) Continue straight on, due south, to rejoin the Allée Royale.

(1) Return to the starting point by following the same route back (S/E).

A pleasant route through this woodland, in bloom with bluebells and a few lily of the valley at this time of year, but it’s a shame that planes fly overhead non-stop.
When we reached the spot, although the description was precise, on the ground it didn’t match reality. So it took us a while to find our way back to the starting point...

A pleasant walk through the woods.
The only downside is that it isn’t circular, so it makes the route longer as you have to walk back the other way to get back to your car

In spring, the wild hyacinths are a real highlight! And soon the lily of the valley too!
The downside is the noise from the planes at Orly and the large crowds. But the forest is beautiful!

An easy walk, suitable for all walkers, through pleasant woodland
It can sometimes be tricky to choose the right path, depending on whether you’re following the GRP (yellow-red) or another trail

A lovely forest walk through a picturesque yet wild landscape.
Do take care to follow the route, however, as it does not always correspond to the markings on the trees.
