Hiking in Essonne between nature and culture

The Essonne is made up of various "natural" territories such as Hurepoix, the plains of Beauce, the French Gâtinais, and the Brie plateau. At the gates of Paris, Essonne enjoys an exceptional natural heritage with a variety of unique landscapes.

The forests, sensitive natural areas, or remarkable geological sites that make up its landscape make you feel far away yet close to home. Wandering through these many estates, parks, and gardens offers you a wonderful moment of breathing space.

The Essonne department, "Secret Garden of Île-de-France," holds many beautiful discoveries. Historical sites such as castles but also museums invite passing hikers to travel back in time. From the Caillebotte trail to the salons of Hugo and Cocteau, follow in the footsteps of the artists!
