A circular route which, on the outward journey, follows theGR®1from Vaux-sur-Seine to Sagy. The route passes very close to the Châteaux de Villette and Vaux. Before reaching the finish, the route runs alongside the Seine for a few hundred metres.

A long hike from station to station, alternating between the banks of the Seine, forests, fields, towns and villages, offering numerous views of the Seine and the French Vexin. The route, dotted with historical landmarks, also serves as a reminder that heavy fighting took place in the region in August 1944.

A lovely walk along the banks of the Seine, passing through pretty villages such as Evecquemont. The starting point and finishing point are two stations on the same SNCF line.

A hike from station to station which, with a few climbs, leads from the Seine valley to the Oise valley. After the streets, alleys and paths of Triel-sur-Seine and Chanteloup-les-Vignes, you cross the Hautil Forest in a very pleasant way. Three beautiful churches and two beautiful farmhouses are to be discovered along the way.

This walk through the old streets of Verneuil, its parks and gardens is not difficult. The walk continues through the forest and along some of its varied paths. End of the urban route, nice little shops, cheese shop, bakery, etc. Finally, a gently sloping path leads to the station.

This route is a circular route that will take you to Saint-Martin Church in Triel-sur-Seine, the castle and church in Vaux-sur-Seine, and Verneuil-sur-Seine Castle. The climb up to the heights of Triel offers panoramic views over part of the valley. For the first few kilometres, you’ll follow the GR®1 (a 570 km circular route around Paris) before returning via the GR® de Pays “La Seine Impressionniste” and the Verneuil-sur-Seine leisure centre.

This walk, which initially follows the Seine to Villennes, will allow you to see many different aspects of the riverbanks and the surrounding area. You will then take the town’s narrow streets, before heading back down through the woods and fields to Verneuil.

A water-themed hike: from the meanders of the Aubette to the springs that enliven the Vexin region.

The walk begins with a very varied section of the GRP® "Impressionist Seine" trail, starting with the imposing ESA Ariane rocket factory and its loading dock, a charming marina, the Val de Seine leisure island, and several large ponds. It continues with Triel-sur-Seine, its pleasant Parc Senet, and its Église St-Martin with its complex architecture. The crossing of the Bois d'Hautil via easy but unspoilt paths is worth the detour for its chestnut forests dotted with a few beautiful oak trees and pierced by a large number of chasms resulting from the collapse of underground quarries. The walk ends peacefully as you admire the confluence of the Oise and the Seine.

Half urban, half rural route to discover old Meulan-en-Yvelines and the views over the Aubette and Seine valleys.

A long hike from station to station that veers away from the Seine Valley (which is not particularly suitable for hiking in this area) and climbs to higher ground. The route alternates between wooded sections and stretches through fields with sweeping views. There is a wealth of heritage to discover, with two beautiful Romanesque churches in the first part and, towards the end and as a grand finale, the Gothic Collegiate Church of Mantes-la-Jolie.

This walk can be started from Meulan-Hardricourt station and follows marked paths for a good part of the way, even if they are not always easy to identify, particularly the access tothe GR® 2. During this walk, you can see the church of Hardricourt, pass through fields, see La Défense, enjoy the undergrowth, admire the pretty village of Mézy-sur-Seine and, if you are feeling adventurous, dip your feet in the water (in summer) and enjoy the banks of the Seine. Please note that in cold weather, some sections of the forest may be muddy and difficult to walk on.

A hike from station to station with the Oise as the guiding thread. You will cross several wooded parks and follow the river for a long time, mostly on a right of way. At the end of the route, the passage through Auvers-sur-Oise is an opportunity to evoke the famous painter Vincent Van Gogh.
