Samois-sur-Seine walks

This hike is accessible by train, which drops you off in the middle of the forest (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays). The route mainly follows the Denecourt-Colinet trails, nicknamed "blue trails" because of the colour of their markings. It winds through the undergrowth, far from the wide forest paths, and on several sections, it twists and turns among the rocks.

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 rural hike that alternates between old villages, former quarries, forest and the banks of the Seine. The road that was previously used for the return journey has changed from a private road to a public road and is no longer suitable for walking, hence a significant change to the route.

A walk along the Seine, with the village of Fontaine-le-Port, a section ofthe GR®2 trailoverlooking the Seine towards Chartrettes, then the Bois-le-Roi leisure centre on the other side of the river.

It is a short, relatively easy circuit exploring some curiosities of the forest of Fontainebleau around the Avon SNCF train station, namely the views over the Croix du Calvaire, the Sponge Rock, Denecourt Tower and fountains. One could also call it the fountain circuit.

This stage requires an overnight stay in Milly-la-Forêt or the surrounding area before reaching Ballancourt the next day. There are a few hotels and guesthouses available in the vicinity.

From one fountain to another... The first half of this hike from station to station takes you through the Forest of Fontainebleau, with its boulders, several fountains, the Roche Éponge and the Tour Dencourt, which offers a panoramic view.

The best of the Denecourt-Colinet trails nos. 1, 2 and 3 in a day's hike! The Croix d'Augas, the rocks of Mont Ussy, the Solle racecourse, the Rocher Cassepot, the Denecourt Tower, the Circuit des Fontaines, and return via the beautiful viewpoint of the Croix du Calvaire. N.B. As is often the case with the Denecourt-Colinet trails, the automatic calculation underestimates the twists and turns in the rocks: allow for 17 km and 250 m of elevation gain, or 5 hours.

Hike through vast woodlands interspersed with rocky outcrops such as Rocher Canon, Cuvier Chatillon and Rocher Saint-Germain.

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.
