Vestiges donjon du Château St-Côme walks

A lovely walk, from station to station, starting in Luzarches and crossing the Bois du Tremblay along the GR®655. You’ll come across the Luzarches Mill and the Brassay Bridge. The route passes through the Coye Forest, past the Pain de Sucre and the Fontaine aux Verres. It’s a fairly shaded route, which is pleasant in summer when it’s very hot.

Starting mainly in the forest and then crossing fields on good paths, this hike from station to station has its share of remarkable sights. You can enjoy an old market hall, two beautiful churches, a dovecote, a spring and a menhir, as well as a natural curiosity, the two intertwined trees in the Forest of Coye.

Visit Royaumont Abbey via Viarmes and Luzarches, following the GR®655 circular route, for a wonderful day out with the family.

A walk from station to station, through fields, woods and villages in the Goële plain. The route is punctuated by numerous crossings of the River Biberonne, a few ponds and some beautiful churches.

Eleventh stage of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, connecting Chantilly-Gouvieux station to the village of Borest, reached by crossing the Chantilly estate, the Chantilly and Ermenonville forests, with a detour through the historic centre of Senlis and, optionally, a moment of reflection in front of the memorial to the victims of the March 1974 plane crash. The route follows, more or less closely, the Nonette River, which is crossed several times. The route for this stage is almost entirely in the forest, with little elevation gain, making it a very pleasant hike, and the crossings of Chantilly and Senlis add a rich touch of heritage. This stage requires an overnight stay to avoid laborious car manoeuvres. It is therefore the first of two consecutive stages, both entirely within the Oise department, between the Chantilly-Gouvieux and Crépy-en-Valois railway stations.

La randonnée se déroule d'abord à travers la Forêt de Carnelle, avec un passage à la superbe Allée couverte de la Pierre Turquaise, la plus imposante d'Ile-de-France. On continue en forêt puis à travers champs, pas loin de l'Oise, pour une visite à l'ancienne Abbaye de Royaumont. On termine entre bois, prés, champs et zones résidentielles.

A very beautiful route from station to station in the Montmorency Forest, based in part on four themed trails: “Le Sentier des Lisières”, “Le Sentier de la Reine Hortense” and “Le Chemin des Philosophes” described on the Saint-Leu-la-Forêt tourist information website, plus “Taverny par les Sentes”. Thanks to a number of information boards, the route allows you to trace the region’s ancient and more recent history, admire many of its most interesting sites, and even engage in a bit of philosophy. It can easily be shortened to 18 km by avoiding the return trip to the Statue of Notre-Dame de France at the start of the walk.

A circular loop from station to station accessible via line H. Starting from the town of Bouffémont, it takes you into the Montmorency Forest and on to the Château de la Chasse and its pond. Before and after the château, the route follows various forest trails in the shade of century-old trees.

Half of the route takes you through the Forest of L'Isle-Adam. This hike from station to station offers other points of interest, including two covered walkways dating from the Neolithic period.

A walk starting from Valmondois towards Ogivaux Castle and Moulin le Roy, then heading towards L’Isle-Adam through the woods. A stroll along the left bank towards the new port of L’Isle-Adam, then a walk around the lake, and continuing along the banks of the Oise via the GR®1 greenway.
