Verneuil-l'Étang walks

This hike takes you through the fields and woods of the Brie region, following the old railway line that once connected the Gare de la Bastille in Paris to Marles-en-Brie, north of this route.

A bucolic hike through woods, fields, meadows and gardens, playing leapfrog with the Yerres and Ru de Bréon rivers. Two village crossings and, in Chaumes-en-Brie, a tribute to the musicians of the Couperin family and a farm with surprising architecture in the heart of the Brie region.

Hike from Liverdy-en-Brie via Retal, Courquetaine and La Marsange, alternating between wooded areas, farmland and urban passages, with two churches, two castles, a farm and a wash house.

This walk offers views of the Yerres, a priory, two wash houses and cows, alternating between woods and fields.

A hike rich in heritage in the south of Brie. It starts at the old fortified castle of Blandy-les-Tours, which is in excellent condition, and ends with a visit to one of the most beautiful Gothic churches in the Île-de-France region. Two other churches, a chapel, another more recent castle and an old mill complete the picture. A route on a cultivated plateau, through woods and alongside the Ru d'Ancoeur.

A walk where you can see horses and cross the Yerres eight times.

Three small villages are marked on the map at each point of a right-angled triangle. This is an easy walk with no particular difficulties. There are no climbs, so no effort is required, and the flat countryside is full of charming little spots to discover.

A lovely circular along the Ancœuil. Walking along this river is very pleasant when the weather is warm.

A circular mainly through the forest, starting from Place des Fourneaux in Maincy. The route begins with a walk through the village and continues along the neighbouring fields. After a short stretch through the forest, it continues along the surrounding wall of the Château de Vaux-Le-Vicomte with a view of the Ancueil spillway. Pass in front of the Maison des Carmes, then return to the village square.

From Maincy Church to Blandy-les-Tours Castle via Vaux le Vicomte Castle.

Across the Brie plain, discover a beautiful 13th-century church with fortification elements inherited from its Templar past.

Mostly dating from the late Middle Ages, fortified farms are a typical part of the architectural heritage of the Brie region. This walk takes you past several such farms, including the Fief de Bois-Poussin stronghold, and gives you the chance to discover the rich heritage of Nangis with its ancient fortified castle, church and market halls. The walk takes you along paths between fields and small roads with little traffic, and along the banks of the brooks that wind through this farming plain.

A hike from station to station that starts at the edge of the forest. You then cross a cultivated plateau before descending into the Grand Morin valley. The route ends between the river and canals.

A country walk in the Grand Morin valley, with the mills of Coude and Prémol. Note: actual elevation gain: approximately double the calculation, i.e. 260 m. Avoid in wet weather. Caution! The route has been modified at the Moulin de Prémol due to the removal of the footbridge over the railway line.

A two-part hike from station to station. First, you cross the Armainvilliers National Forest, on wide paths and then on a trail that winds through the undergrowth. The rest of the route takes you through fields, through the village of Favières and finally to the heritage sites of Tournan-en-Brie.

This hike takes you through the forests of Armainvilliers and Ferrières, where you can discover many species of trees and the Sequoia Avenue. The route then continues to the Taffarette Pond, where you can stop for a picnic in a relaxing and pleasant setting. See the old laundry room of the Château de Ferrières and its wash house, as well as the Church of Saint-Rémy. The route ends with a walk through the forest to Roissy-Brie station, following the Morbras.

The Grande Randonnée trail, which crosses the massif from one side to the other, offers walkers idyllic scenes, such as the surroundings of the Mare du Cormier, or bucolic moments, such as chestnut picking! Within the Ferrieres and Armainvilliers forests, the route follows sections of the GRP® and PR® trails of the Briardes Valleys and Forests.

This hike takes you from Melun to the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte via the GR®1 and a PR®. Let yourself be guided to Nicolas Fouquet's famous château along the Amont greenway, through the picturesque Briard village of Maincy, a "small town of character", then past the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte and its French gardens.

This hike alternates between forest, the Parc de l'Abbaye du Lys and the animal park at Château Soubiran in Dammarie.
