Breathe in the countryside

YOU WILL FIND 16 LOOP TRAILS IN MORET SEINE& LOING, ALL OFFERING OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE THIS AREA THAT IS IDEAL FOR A STROLL OR BRISK HIKE.

The 16 trails, with descriptive (Les venelles de Veneux – The alleyways of Veneux) or more imaginative names (L’être suprême en terre romaine – The supreme being in Roman lands), offer round walks of 7 to 19 km, suitable for all levels and interests. Practical sheets presenting these routes are available below.

If you would like to explore these 200 km of paths, pick up the free Moret Seine& Loing hiking route map available at the Tourist Office or downloadable here, which is full of essential information that will come in handy before you set off and on the trail.

The map shows the location and routes of the MSL paths, as well as the main hiking trails (GR®, GRP®, PR) nearby.
On the back of the map, for each path, you will find a summary of key information (distance, estimated time, altitude difference and signs to follow), as well as car parks and recommended starting points, sites of interest to see and visit along the way, and a brief presentation of the route.

All of this information will help you find routes that match your interests, physical condition and available time: an à la carte menu to choose from!

Signs have been placed along the way to show the route and help you get your bearings: The 200 km of paths are fully marked out, including information boards, and you will find a detailed map of the route at the start.

EVENTS AND HIKES GUIDED BY LOCALS

Because it can sometimes be a bit scary setting off to discover a forest or unknown place alone, you can join a group for a walk and benefit from local guides and their knowledge!

Moret Seine & Loing regularly organises gentle walks for groups, as well as hiking-related events. The events La Printanière and La Patrimoine, held each year between March and September, include a number of routes suitable for all levels, as well as many themed activities, offering chances to learn about biodiversity, geology, heritage, flavours of the terroir and more...
Walking clubs and associations (Rando Seine & Loing, Nordic walking club) also offer a variety of outings all year round, as well as shorter “gentle hikes” to enjoy walking at your own pace. They welcome visitors passing through with open arms.
Don’t hesitate to contact the Tourist Office for further information and to find a walk or hike for you!
