Trail in the Marly ForestPhoto: OTI SGBS 2017
Enjoy the 9 cycling routes in the forests of Saint-Germain and Marly, designed by the National Forests Office and the Saint Germain Boucles de Seine Agglomeration Community.
A way to (re)discover at your own pace these incredible natural spaces on the doorstep of cities.
This action follows the consultation conducted within the framework of the General States of the forests of Saint-Germain and Marly launched in 2017 to promote better shared maintenance of these forests. The Saint Germain Boucles de Seine Agglomeration Community and the ONF wished to develop a network of soft paths.
Nine cycling routes representing 71 kilometers have thus been set up to cross and discover the forest massifs of Saint-Germain and Marly: the circuits designed for everyone make cycling in the forest easier.
These routes offer you:
- Loops
- Forest crossings to get from town to town
- A passage through the Paris-London route
- Circuits for families
- A more sporty circuit
- A circuit that connects 3 stations…
