If you're looking for a peaceful and scenic hike in the Eure-et-Loir department, you should check out Les étangs de Fontenay-sur-Eure. This trail takes you around several ponds created from former quarries and which are now home to a rich and varied fauna. You will be able to enjoy the view of the water, the trees and the birds throughout your walk. The trail is easy to follow and suitable for all levels of hikers.
