This mountain bike ride takes you through part of the Gâtinais region, with oak and pine forests to the north and rolling farmland typical of the Beauce region to the south. You will pass through several villages typical of the region and follow the Essonne valley, which is fairly unobtrusive but whose hillsides will give your calves a good workout.

Through the valleys and hillsides of the Gatinais and across several beautiful villages, this hike takes you to two beautiful Romanesque churches and one of the best-preserved fortified castles in the Île-de-France region.

This walk from station to station allows you to discover the heights of Étampes, with a beautiful view of the town, and to hike in the pleasant setting of the Louette and Chalouette valleys. You can continue this hike by returning to the starting station (an additional 1.8 km) and take the opportunity to visit this small town, which is well worth a visit.

A hike that takes place on the slopes of the left bank of the Juine and on the plateau between the fields. The path through the Étréchy forest, between the boulders, is very pleasant.

This hike is certainly the most "aquatic" of those that can be undertaken along the Essonne. Indeed, numerous ponds punctuate the route: ponds for fishing or other forms of leisure; ponds and marshes that make up a protected natural area, a source of biodiversity and a place to observe wildlife.

Thirty-first stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, linking Étréchy in the Juine Valley to Saint-Chéron in the Orge Valley, via the Renarde Valley.

It is notable for its numerous ascents and descents between plateaus and valleys.

A hilly route from station to station, mainly through farmland for the first two-thirds, then through more wooded areas. Beautiful churches and rural heritage can be found in the villages along the way. In Dourdan, the walk along the Orge river, the 12th-13th century church and the fortified castle provide a superb finishing touch.
