We Parisians are indeed incredibly lucky. Not only do we live in the most beautiful city in the world, but our region is also one of the prettiest in France. With an abundance of castles, super unique museums, and especially adorable paths to hike or bike on, there’s so much charm at every turn. After introducing you to the most flowery hike in the region, or the most peaceful, this time we invite you to discover the coolest of them all. And it takes place at Vaux-de-Cernay.
A Bit of History
Hiking enthusiasts or Sunday walkers, follow us for a new loop of about ten kilometers to explore Vaux-le-Cernay and its surroundings. To start this adventure away from the sweltering heat of the capital,
head towards the Yvelines. You have two options: the car, or take the RER B to Saint-Rémy-les-Chevreuses, and then a bus to the abbey of Vaux-le-Cernay. Because yes, there's no time to waste, your starting point will be a monument (literally) of the region. Although access to the renovated part of the building is unfortunately paid (and we highly recommend their brunch worthy of Hogwarts), the gardens and ruins are freely and freely accessible. Perfect to warm up before fully enjoying the freshness.Voir cette publication sur Instagram
Freshness Above All
Once this historical parenthesis is closed, we head towards the Vaux pond by following the Ru. Once we arrive, we discover an idyllic setting, absolutely perfect for a picnic in the shade by the water's edge. Around the pond, the waterfalls multiply in charming little gorges, and as the cherry on top, we even have the right to dip our feet!

For even more freshness, we then head towards the Maréchaux quarries, crossing a bit of the Rambouillet forest (freshness, we told you!). It's an extremely peaceful haven, where sandstone reigns supreme. Finally, we take the hiking path that leads us up to the heights, for a breathtaking view of the abbey, its pond, and the surrounding area. What a joy!
