Seine-et-Marne rolls out a fresh batch of outing ideas for this weekend of 29 and 30 August 2026!
Soon the weather cools down, the 77 department invites you to enjoy a string of activities—from walks and château visits to festivals and open-air evenings—over these two days, and throughout the week as well. We’ve picked ten spots you can enjoy solo, as a couple, with family, or with friends, without wasting hours in transit.
From Fontainebleau to Meaux, via Provins, the Seine-et-Marne is rolling out a varied program: ephemeral beaches and baths in the 77 to cool off, castles and charming villages to discover, festivals and sound-and-light shows to extend the evening.
Before you head out, a quick reminder: several RER, Transilien and metro lines are still affected by summer works, as detailed in our update on transport disruptions.
Also check access to woods and forests, still subject to restrictions in places after the Fontainebleau forest fire, as well as the opening hours of venues before you go.
