A very good app; perhaps if the location were a bit more precise, the navigation would be easier to follow.

A pleasant and peaceful forest route where we spotted a few deer.
Be sure to wear sturdy shoes (muddy at the end of the trail).

Hello Jbouz,

Thank you for your comments. This short hike is a bit like a Sunday stroll around the village, with the option of shortening it if necessary and avoiding the road. As the forest is criss-crossed by numerous paths and trails, it is easy to adapt
your route to suit your preferences.
Enjoy your hike in the Gâtinais region and elsewhere.

An interesting hike because of the sights it offers, but less so because of the paths it takes. It would be good to offer the option of avoiding tarmac roads.

Thank you, Bruno, for your comments.
With its grid pattern, the forest offers us many possibilities, allowing everyone to hike at their own pace.
Enjoy your hikes in Gatinais and elsewhere.

Thank you, Remi Besnard.
But does the bitumen issue call into question the quality of the description?

A lot of tarmac and gravel roads, when one might expect a proper forest track.

We left from and returned to Montargis station, which roughly doubles the distance. So we started the hike at point 2.
Be aware that night falls quickly at this time of year, so we had to get out our torches to read the map at the end of the route.
It was a pleasant, easy hike, mostly on wide paths.
Other points of interest include another oak tree identified at the side of the road just before point 4 and the wooden statues that can be seen from the path near the stadium. Don't hesitate to enter the forest to see them up close.
We followed Rue de la Grotte aux Loups (point 3) for too long, and ended up reaching the Bel-Ebat crossroads via Route de Saint Hubert. More tarmac! Were we not paying attention?

Hello, I am delighted to introduce you to a new route.
I suggest the countryside and the north-eastern part of the Montargis Forest.
This hike will take you out of the forest and its long paths to walk occasionally on small, quiet roads.
The GR 132 has been modified on the ground but not on the map (at the bottom of the castle after the spring, go up to the right towards point 4 then 5).
From point 11, you can reach La Montagneuse via La Chrétiennette and return to the finish at point 16.
La Montagneuse is mountainous on the Gâtinais scale. It is a long straight line with 4 or 5 bumps of 20 to 25 m in elevation. If you are looking for elevation, you should go for the 25 bumps in the Fontainebleau forest. It is a marked trail through the rocks, 13.16 or 20 km long with 600 and 1000 m of elevation gain. It is the training ground for trail runners in northern France. My starting point is the village of Le Vaudoué. There is a car park at the entrance to the village and another at the exit near the cemetery.
Enjoy your hike, I look forward to your comments.

Hello, yes, we are going back next week and will do the 6-hour one. Which of the two would you recommend? I am looking for the mountainous side with as many "elevation changes" as possible so I can train
I'm really looking forward to discovering your new course!
See you soon!

Thank you, Shunyatao, for your message and your comments.

I understand your request and suggest you explore the forest in more depth if you have the opportunity to return.
Two other hikes are available, both covering distances of 20 km.
- North-western section of the Montargis Forest.
- Countryside and north-eastern section of the Montargis Forest
The forest is criss-crossed by very wide forest paths, the names of which are clearly marked on signs at each crossroads, making it easy for walkers to find their way around. There are also small paths that are less well marked on maps.
I am currently preparing the southern section, which is 21 km long, and the complete tour of the forest, which is 33 km long.
Happy hiking!

Easy hike
It's a shame that the first half of the route is on roads around Paucourt
you pass by the magnificent forest without ever really entering it
Too much road or wide path, I would have preferred to go deeper into the forest
