Bords de Marne Walk (18 km)

Hello everyone!
I hope you are feeling in great shape to start our hiking season for this year. Let's warm up with a hike/walk close to Paris, along the beautiful banks of the Marne River, just east of Paris. This route is perfect for escaping the city without going far. The walk is mostly flat and easy to follow, making it ideal for a relaxed but active day outdoors. It’s a great opportunity to stay active, enjoy nature, and meet like-minded people.

To get there, take RER A from Chatelet les Halles (16 min traveling time from there) in the direction of Boissy-Saint-Léger. Usually, there is a RER A travelling in this direction every 20-25 min.
