Hike along the Bievre River

I love to hike along the Bievre River on the Chemin des Prés de Vauboyen (Vauboyen meadow path), which has a great rural feel. By rail, it is perhaps 45 minutes from Paris on the RER C line. A nice hike is to get off at the Vauboyen station and walk along the meadow and river to the town of Bievre. In the centre of the little town (up the hill to your left, when hiking from Vauboyen), you’ll find the Café de Paris, which serves up a nice traditional lunch, reasonably priced. Makes for an excellent weekend outing and a chance to reconnect with nature!
