Tours-sur-Marne walks

A long walk through vineyards, fields and small woods, following a route between the canal and the Marne. Beautiful views over the Marne valley. Picnics are possible in the woods (please respect the area and take your rubbish away with you). Suitable for mountain biking. Safety precautions before heading into the forest during the hunting season on Saturdays and Sundays.

This route leads through vineyards and woods to two of the region’s attractions: the Tour Brisset and the Faux de Verzy. Part of the route is easy as it is signposted, but another part is not, and requires the use of the Visorando app or a map. Without the detour via the Faux de Verzy, the walk is 15 km. Update May 2026: the paths at the end of the route, in the “La plaine d’Ambonnay” area, have been devastated by forestry machinery. They are barely passable, as they are full of water and ruts. You’ll need good shoes and the app to get through. There is a ‘No Entry’ sign at the finish point at the Tour Brisset.

This three-hour walk will take you to Mont Aigu, where you will have a beautiful view of the plain.

This is a lovely 21 km hike through vineyards and forests. It follows theGR®141(the old Roman road Via Campaniensis) and theGR®14, which makes it relatively easy to follow. There is no return to the starting point. Leave your cars at Avenay-Val-d'Or station and return by TER train from Rilly-la-Montagne. Although you are following the Camino de Santiago, it is wonderfully peaceful. During the week, apart from one or two foresters, you will only encounter deer.

This is a short walk full of surprises: a pretty manor house in the woods, an ancient Roman road, and part of the Via Campaniensis, the Way of St James from Rocroi to Vézelay, where you often meet pilgrims.

A circular route through the vineyards on the slopes of Aÿ, with a section running alongside the Canal Latéral à la Marne

Walk through the Montagne de Reims Forest, half through the woodland and half along a track suitable for vehicles.

This hike will allow you to discover the route of the CBR (Chemins de fer de la Banlieue de Reims) with beautiful views of the Champagne plain. You can discover Les Faux de Verzy without taking the overly crowded tourist route. Circular hike possible at the Observatoire du Sinaï with a spectacular view of the valley.

A circular walk mainly through woodland. You’ll discover different types of woodland and, with a bit of luck, a variety of wildlife. A gently undulating and very pleasant route, especially in hot weather.

Our journey begins in the village of Champigneul-Champagne. This circular walk offers a typical view of the riverbanks. Immerse yourself in the heart of nature, amidst the cheerful song of the great tit, the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze, and the soothing murmur of flowing water. In summer, keep your eyes peeled, as you might be lucky enough to spot the wren, a small passerine bird moving gracefully amongst the riparian woodland.

After a long (but scenic) detour through the woods and along a wild path, you’ll come across a lovely pond right in the heart of the Montagne de Reims.

Located in the Verzy national forest, the Faux de Verzy are well worth a visit! The twisted beech trees and a hollow oak tree will capture your attention. During your hike, you will feel as if you have stepped into the Forest of Brocéliande.

This is an easy, semi-sporting hike (if you walk at a good pace on the first part) and a semi-cultural one, offering beautiful views of the Champagne plain and a natural curiosity of the region: trees that grow in a twisted manner, the Faux de Verzy.
