The Cirkwi brief

Discover Montreuil's Past and Nature on Foot

Embark on a walking adventure that guides you through Montreuil, unveiling the charm of its three prominent parks, nestled on historic gypsum quarries that contributed to Paris's architectural splendor. This journey, curated by FFRandonnee Seine-Saint-Denis, doesn’t just stroll through green spaces; it tells the untold stories of Montreuil's transformation from its working-class roots to its modern-day vibrance. Feel the past and present intertwining as you traverse landscapes that shaped the city’s heritage and its current identity.



Detailed Itinerary Overview

Spanning 13.44 kilometers, the loop reaches its highest elevation at 115 meters and dips to its lowest at 64 meters, offering a total climb of 224 meters. This route, intricately designed by FFRandonnee Seine-Saint-Denis, challenges and rewards in equal measure. The undulating terrain and varied altitudes not only present a physical challenge but also afford walkers captivating views and a deep connection to the land’s topographical history.



Seasonal Tips for Explorers

Regardless of the season, the PR 8 loop offers unique experiences. In spring, the burgeoning greenery and blossoming flora make the parks especially enchanting. Summer demands sunscreen and hydration, as the canopy provides limited shade. Autumn cloaks the parks in fiery hues, ideal for photographers. Winter treks require caution, as paths can be slippery; however, the serene, frost-kissed landscapes are heartily rewarding. Always ensure your footwear is suitable for a day's walk and weather-appropriate gear is essential.



Montreuil: A City Sculpted by History

Montreuil, once delineated by its quarries, has been a canvas for historical expression; from the laborious hands that built Paris’s iconic Haussmann buildings to the guerrilla gardens of the modern era. Its parks, resting on these ancient quarries, serve as green archives, preserving the tales of its industrious past. Montreuil, nestled in the vibrant region of Seine-Saint-Denis, stands as a testament to resilience, rebirth, and the unwavering spirit of community that defines its essence.



Weather Insights and Ideal Visiting Time

Montreuil enjoys a temperate climate, with mild winters and warm summers. Rain is evenly distributed throughout the year, making any season suitable for exploration. However, to fully relish the parks' natural grandeur and to comfortably navigate the PR 8 route, late spring through early autumn is recommended. This period offers the most favorable weather conditions for walking, ensuring that your journey through Montreuil’s history and natural beauty is as pleasant as possible.
