Vayres-sur-Essonne walks
From Boutigny-sur-Essonne to Étréchy via Rocher Bizet
A hike from station to station with a significant forest component. In addition to a viewpoint, Rocher Bizet offers views of its plateau landscapes, with heathland, ponds and outcropping rocks.
Boutigny-sur-Essonne circular
This is an easy walk, meandering along the Essonne and the watercress beds, then the Pasloup marshes.
La Butte Hébert
This is a short 6.5km route combining two of the four routes suggested on the Huison-Longueville municipal website.
From La Ferté-Alais to Mennecy via the ponds
This hike is certainly the most "aquatic" of those that can be undertaken along the Essonne. Indeed, numerous ponds punctuate the route: ponds for fishing or other forms of leisure; ponds and marshes that make up a protected natural area, a source of biodiversity and a place to observe wildlife.
From Maisse to La Ferté-Alais via Ile Ambart
A hike from station to station in the Essonne Valley. After climbing up through the Bois de Saint-Médard and crossing a cultivated plateau, you pass through the charming hamlets of Courdimanche. You walk alongside the river several times, cross a small island, and the Marais de Jarcy may be of interest to nature lovers. Several churches and a few wash houses are also along the way.
Loop in the Gâtinais, along the Essonne, starting from Bouville
This mountain bike ride takes you through part of the Gâtinais region, with oak and pine forests to the north and rolling farmland typical of the Beauce region to the south. You will pass through several villages typical of the region and follow the Essonne valley, which is fairly unobtrusive but whose hillsides will give your calves a good workout.
La Platière de Bellevue and La Roche Grenolée
A short hike that alternates between forest and fields, with a pleasant route on a plateau. You can see a Neolithic polishing stone and an old sandstone quarry.
The Château de Courances
An original way to get to the Château de Courances: on foot! This short hike goes around the outside of the park, with the first half rich in heritage (churches, mill, wash house, etc.) and the second half more bucolic, ending on an educational trail dedicated to fruit trees.
Ballancourt-sur-Essonne circular
A route between town, fields and forest, during which you will have the opportunity to discover some of the points of interest in the commune of Ballancourt-sur-Essonne.
The woods of Milly and Malabri
The route is mainly through forest, with a few small sandstone rocks in places, starting from the centre of Milly-la-Forêt with its rich heritage (church, wash houses, castle).
Loop of Milly-la-Forêt via the Vanne and Loing aqueducts
A hike that alternates between villages rich in heritage (old market hall, churches, wash houses, castle) and a trail through the Forêt des Trois Pignons dotted with sandstone rocks.
Les Réages Tortus, La Louvetière and Les Quatre Chemins
A loop that starts with a steep climb between the rocks, then alternates between forest and plateau sections and shorter sections between fields. After a stretch along the edge of the woods, the hike ends on the wide grassy bank of the underground aqueduct of La Vanne and Le Loing.
The Rocher Mignot and the Marais d'Itteville
Discover some geological and natural sites in the south of the Essonne department: a landscape of flat land, a sandpit and a vast marshland area that is home to many birds. This hike alternates between sections in the undergrowth, which are the most numerous, and sections between fields.
Le Tertre Noir, Le Tertre Blanc and Le Rocher du Duc
A mainly forest hike during which, in an atmosphere reminiscent of the nearby Fontainebleau Forest, you pass two small peaks (the mounds) and wander through the chaos of sandstone blocks of the Rocher du Duc.
Champcueil - Beauvais - Malvoisine
This hike will allow you to discover a wide variety of landscapes on a relatively short route, as well as some historical remains along the way.
The Forest of Grands Avaux
A short but challenging hike in a small departmental forest with a diversity of landscapes worthy of its larger neighbour, Fontainebleau: varied undergrowth, rocky outcrops and climbing boulders, old sandstone quarries, flat rock formations, viewpoints, etc.
Coteaux de la Juine departing from Lardy
A walk on the hillsides on both banks of the Juine, alternating between cultivated fields and undergrowth. You'll discover a rich heritage along the way, including a dolmen, castle, old mill, farm buildings and beautiful houses.
