ボワシーズルロイのおすすめランニングルート

A towpath, or "chemin de halage," which runs alongside the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transportation infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could be propelled by motors, horses walked along the bank, pulling the vessel against the current. This was called "treideln," and that's how towpaths got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths, located directly on the riverbank, have been preserved, they are popular with hikers and cyclists.

The view of the banks of the Seine in Ponthierry is a true haven of peace, where the river meanders peacefully through a green landscape. The path that runs alongside the Seine is perfect for a bike ride, offering bucolic panoramas of the shaded banks and the small boats gliding on the water. The characterful houses and gardens that line the river add to the charm of the place.

At the gateway to the French Gâtinais, the Vives Eaux dam opposes the course of the Seine to guarantee a level necessary for river navigation. By taking its wooden footbridge, you can see the waters of the river pouring forcefully into a beautiful open landscape.
