Saint-Mesmes walks

Hike through vast cultivated land with scenery that changes colour with the seasons. The route, which is mainly open, offers beautiful views of the region, particularly of the Butte de Montgé to the north, thanks to the wide undulations of the terrain.

This hike takes place in the Plaine de la Goële, mainly in open country across vast cultivated areas. It passes through three villages: Juilly, Vinantes and Nantouillet, allowing you to discover some interesting heritage sites.

The forest contains many remarkable species (chestnut, oak, ash, horse chestnut, hornbeam, tulip tree and plane trees).
