The Val de Seine Hike: four routes from 7 to 27 km through nature in Seine-et-Marne

Craving fresh air and discovery? On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the Val de Seine Hike is back, offering four free routes departing from Melun, weaving through heritage sites and natural scenery.

And what if we went to discover the beautiful natural spaces of Seine-et-Marne, this Sunday, September 27, 2026? The Rando du Val de Seine is back for a new edition across the department and the Melun Val de Seine Urban Community, roaming through villages, forests, parks and the banks of the Seine. Four free routes, well marked and safe, invite you to explore the area’s natural and historical heritage.

On the program, no particular difficulty or elevation, but loops of 7 to 27 kilometers to please both casual and seasoned walkers, and especially families. It’s also a chance to enjoy a bustling exhibitors’ village, open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with around twenty stands: local producers and artisans, the Melun Val de Seine Agglomeration (mobility, biodiversity…), and musical and playful activities (wooden games, photo booth, and a makeup station).

Remember to bring your water bottle! Leashed dogs are welcome on the routes.
