Departure from Vaujours (Seine-Saint-Denis)
This hike from Vaujours to the Moulin de Montfermeil, via the Promenade de la Dhuis and the Forêt de Bondy, often follows marked paths known as the Chemins de Cosette, in reference to Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables, in which these places served as the setting for the meeting of the two main characters: Cosette and Jean Valjean.
Beyond this literary reference, the route, often along the upper reaches of the rolling hills, offers some very pretty views.
