One abbey, two castles, two churches, one river, one lake, three rural villages and the Forest of Coye. In 1140 , Ascelin, known as "the Hermit", lord of Marly-la-Ville , left his castle in Marly and retired to this then inhospitable place (locum horroris et vaste solituninis) called Herremivallis, the hermit's valley. He already owned part of the land, and the Counts of Beaumont and Clermont willingly ceded the rest to him. Joined by other companions, they cleared the land located in a wooded depression forming a valley through which several springs flowed, and founded the Abbey of Hérivaux.

A hike alternating between countryside, forest and villages. The route passes in front of Hérivaux Castle, the abbey and the remains of an old 13th-century mill (a marker indicates the location of the mill). Cross the village of Bellefontaine with the banks of the Ysieux and the lake.

Twelfth stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR® 11, connecting the village of Borest to Crépy-en-Valois station, both in the Oise department. This long stage consists of crossing the Valois region to Crépy-en-Valois, mainly through agricultural plains and wooded areas.

Eleventh stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, connecting Chantilly-Gouvieux station to the village of Borest, reached by crossing the Chantilly estate, the Chantilly and Ermenonville forests, with a detour through the historic centre of Senlis and, optionally, a moment of reflection in front of the memorial to the victims of the March 1974 plane crash. The route follows, more or less closely, the Nonette River, which is crossed several times. The route for this stage is almost entirely in the forest, with little elevation gain, making it a very pleasant hike, and the crossings of Chantilly and Senlis add a rich touch of heritage. This stage requires an overnight stay to avoid laborious car manoeuvres. It is therefore the first of two consecutive stages, both entirely within the Oise department, between the Chantilly-Gouvieux and Crépy-en-Valois railway stations.
