​Join us for a relaxed social hike just outside Paris, exploring the beautiful Parc Culturel de Rentilly and the Vallon de la Brosse valley. This route offers a mix of landscaped park gardens, forests, open countryside, and peaceful ponds — a great nature escape close to the city.

We will begin inside the elegant Domaine de Rentilly, known for its mix of French formal gardens, English-style parkland, and wooded paths. The hike then continues through the small valleys around Bussy-Saint-Martin, passing quiet lakes such as Étang de la Broce and Étang de la Loy, before looping back through forest and countryside.
The goal of this hike is simple: enjoy nature, walk together, and meet new people.
