Saint-Méry walks

A hike rich in heritage in the south of Brie. It starts at the old fortified castle of Blandy-les-Tours, which is in excellent condition, and ends with a visit to one of the most beautiful Gothic churches in the Île-de-France region. Two other churches, a chapel, another more recent castle and an old mill complete the picture. A route on a cultivated plateau, through woods and alongside the Ru d'Ancoeur.

A lovely circular along the Ancœuil. Walking along this river is very pleasant when the weather is warm.

This hike takes you through the fields and woods of the Brie region, following the old railway line that once connected the Gare de la Bastille in Paris to Marles-en-Brie, north of this route.

A bucolic hike through woods, fields, meadows and gardens, playing leapfrog with the Yerres and Ru de Bréon rivers. Two village crossings and, in Chaumes-en-Brie, a tribute to the musicians of the Couperin family and a farm with surprising architecture in the heart of the Brie region.

A circular mainly through the forest, starting from Place des Fourneaux in Maincy. The route begins with a walk through the village and continues along the neighbouring fields. After a short stretch through the forest, it continues along the surrounding wall of the Château de Vaux-Le-Vicomte with a view of the Ancueil spillway. Pass in front of the Maison des Carmes, then return to the village square.

From Maincy Church to Blandy-les-Tours Castle via Vaux le Vicomte Castle.

Variation of the "From vineyards to orchards in the Javot valley" hike available on the FFRP Seine-et-Marne hiking website.

A walk where you can see horses and cross the Yerres eight times.

This walk offers views of the Yerres, a priory, two wash houses and cows, alternating between woods and fields.

This hike takes you from Melun to the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte via the GR®1 and a PR®. Let yourself be guided to Nicolas Fouquet's famous château along the Amont greenway, through the picturesque Briard village of Maincy, a "small town of character", then past the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte and its French gardens.

Route along the Seine from Chartrettes to Samois-sur-Seine, followed by a walk through part of the Forest of Fontainebleau. A visit to the cemetery in Samois allows you to see the grave of Django Reinhardt.

Hike from Liverdy-en-Brie via Retal, Courquetaine and La Marsange, alternating between wooded areas, farmland and urban passages, with two churches, two castles, a farm and a wash house.

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

This loop is accessible by public transport and showcases several aspects of the Forest of Fontainebleau: forest stands of various species, ponds and rocky outcrops. The superb viewpoint at Camp de Chailly is a great place to stop for a break.

From Bois-le-Roi to Fontainebleau, walk between forest and rocks far from the beaten track

The Fontainebleau Forest is one of the most beautiful forests in France thanks to its varied landscapes and, above all, its sandstone blocks. This hike, which passes through the Cuvier-Châtillon rocks, the Apremont gorges and the rocks of Mont Ussy, will allow you to appreciate all its beauty but also its fragility, due to both natural erosion and that caused by heavy human traffic, given its proximity to the Paris region.

Long but very nice hike station to station in the Forest of Fontainebleau. It goes through several viewpoints, ponds, little known corners, stunning scenery.

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 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.

From the beautiful Rocher Saint-Germain and its Crystal Cave to the surprising Rocher Canon, via the Table du Grand Maître, the Longues Vallées and the Butte Saint-Louis. Please note: the automatic calculation underestimates the twists and turns of the Blue trails. Allow for 18 km and 300 m of elevation gain. Allow 6 hours of walking time.

This route connects two towers (the Tour Denecourt and the Tour de Samois) via relatively quiet trails, mainly the Denecourt-Colinet and Samoisiens trails.
