Chartrettes

Upon entering the village of Chartrettes, turn left onto the first street: Rue des Ecoles (RD 135) and pass by the town hall. Continue straight on along Rue Omer Tan. At the end of this road, at the fork in the wood, turn right onto Rue du Buisson. Next, take the 2nd right-hand road, after the turn: Rue des Soupirs. At the end of this road, turn right to bike along the village’s main street: Rue de la Chevalerie. Be careful on this relatively narrow, descending road, notably when passing through the tunnel beneath the railway. At the end of this road, upon reaching the Seine River, turn right then cross the road a dozen metres further to arrive at the towpath. At first narrow, the path eventually widens. Continue along the towpath until the dam on the Seine, just after the water skiing club and river port. A few tourist-information panels here present the history of Chartrettes and its close link to the Seine.
