Distance and timing basis
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Photo stop in Boissy-le-Cutté
Boissy-le-Cutté is a small village in the Essonne, south of Paris, sitting on the edge of the Juine valley in the Gâtinais français regional park. It is a place of quiet streets, stone houses and fields, far from the bustle of the capital even though it lies only an hour away. The surrounding landscape is a mix of farmland, woods and river valleys, with sandstone outcrops scattered across the hills.

Photo stop in Boissy-le-Cutté is where the day begins. Next is Seine Loops and Roche-Guyon checkpoint 8.
2. Enghien-les-Bains
Enghien-les-Bains is the only town in the Paris region that feels like a spa resort, and that is exactly what it was built to be. The town grew up in the nineteenth century around sulphurous springs and a lake, and the Parisians who came to take the waters left behind villas, promenades and a casino. This finish puts you right on the lake shore, with Montmorency forest on the hills behind.

3. Back to Seine Loops
East of Paris the land flattens into the Brie plateau's margin, and the towns here run together in a belt of low houses, retail parks and market gardens. Mitry-Mory is the nearest place of any size, with about 18,500 people, and Claye-Souilly and Villeparisis lie a little further along. It is not scenic in a postcard sense, yet it has a quiet logic: this is where Paris has always fed itself, and farmland still survives between the suburbs.
