Wooded route between Vaucresson and Marnes-la-Coquette
A loop that is largely forested, although located in a peri-urban area, where you also pass through a few residential neighbourhoods with spacious houses. The small town of Marnes, with its beautiful heritage, deserves the description "charming". A touch of remembrance is provided by the monument in homage to the Lafayette Escadrille.
Between the Swiss pond and the Minière ponds
This route allows you to discover both the Minière ponds, upstream of the Bièvre river, and to pass close to the Palace of Versailles by crossing the Parc des Suisses. It is also a route through the Versailles National Forest, allowing you to enjoy a pleasant walk along the Bièvre.
It is a route for all seasons, as the landscape changes with the weather.
Around the Geneste and Minière ponds

From Chaville to Versailles through the national forests
A hike from station to station, mainly through forest. Although located in an urban setting, this route takes you through green (in season) and peaceful areas. The Chêne des Missions oak tree and the Étang du Trou au Gants pond are two beautiful points of interest.
The Trou aux Gants pond and the Chêne des Missions oak tree
You pass by the Etang d'Ursine, a nameless pond, then the Etang du Trou aux Gants, before reaching the Chêne des Missions, a remarkable tree surrounded by pseudo-megaliths. This route starts in the Mare Adam forest park and continues through the Meudon National Forest, with a brief detour into a pretty residential area. Allow half a day for this walk.
From Chaville to Saint-Cloud through the forest, ponds and park
A hike from station to station that takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the Fausses-Reposes Forest and Saint-Cloud Park. Along the way, you can enjoy the Étangs de Ville-d'Avray, the park's ponds and statues, and a superb view of the Val de Seine and Paris.
A challenging long route through the forests of Meudon and Fausses-Reposes
A beautiful, challenging hike in the forest, just a stone's throw from Paris. Choose between 25 km or 35 km, with 700 and 900 m of elevation gain respectively. Despite a few urban sections, most of the route is in the heart of the forest, shaded by deciduous trees. The forest is beautiful, and there are some lovely views, but the appeal is more athletic than touristy.
The route includes many quick changes of direction, making it difficult to follow without GPS.
The entire route is less than 10 km from the western part of Paris.
A tour of the Haras de Jardy
Dedicated to equestrian sports, the Haras de Jardy Departmental Park is open to the public. Starting from Marnes-la-Coquette, which lives up to its name, this short walk takes you along the paths of the park and the trails of the neighbouring Fausses-Reposes Forest.
The Ponds of Montbron
An unsuspected corner of wild nature, just twenty kilometres from Paris. In the Parc Départemental des Côtes de Montbron, the Ru de Saint-Marc and three ponds are home to a variety of flora and numerous birds. A short walk for nature lovers!

Tour of the ponds in the Hauts-de-Seine
This bike ride will take you from the Parc de Villeneuve-l'Étang to the Étang de Saint-Cucufa, in the heart of the Malmaison National Forest. Along the way, you will pass through the village-like towns of Marnes-la-Coquette and Garches, just a stone's throw from Paris.
From Bougival to Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche via the Park and Forest of Marly
A mainly forest route despite its proximity to Paris! After crossing the Bois de Louveciennes, you can enjoy the Parc de Marly, with its views and ponds. The route ends in the Marly National Forest, with a winding path at first, then a wide, straight path.

A mainly forest route with a pleasant section along the Etang de Saint-Cucufa and a brief detour through a residential area and old orchards to enjoy a beautiful view from the Belvédère des Gallicourts. A half-day walk.
