With over 130 kilometers of walking, the GR Pays de la Seine Impressionniste starts in Chatou, in the Yvelines department, and leads to Giverny in the Eure department. And although it took more than ten years for this new long-distance footpath to see the light of day (according to France 3 régions), it's now a beautiful circuit to do in its entirety or in sections, for beautiful walks in the Île-de-France region.
Discover theÎle des Impressionnistes in Chatou, the magnificent troglodyte village of La Roche-Guyon in the Val-d'Oise, the small village of Vétheuil or the hamlet of Giverny, made famous by Monet's water lily house and ponds, which can be visited all year round.
