The details of your upcoming experience

A word from your guide

Hello, I’m Cécilia, founder of Les Échappées de Cécilia. I love sharing my curiosity about the Île-de-France region and its hidden treasures!

As a passionate hiker, I’ll take you along my trails to help you discover a region that has everything it takes to amaze you ✨️

Description of your future experience

Just 40 minutes from Paris, I’ll take you on an idyllic adventure at the gateway to the Chevreuse Valley. A true micro-adventure that will take you along the trails of the charming town of Bures-sur-Yvette before you get to experience a moment high above the ground (literally!) on the Viaduc des Fauvettes, a former railroad bridge that’s now a greenway.

This mini-hike is 8 km long. It’s a loop: starting and ending in Bures-sur-Yvette (RER B).

Schedule (approximate times):

9:00 a.m.: Meet at Châtelet-les-Halles, RER B platform

9:45 a.m.: Arrival at the Bures-sur-Yvette train station. Start of the mini-hike.

1:00 p.m.: End of the hike at the Bures-sur-Yvette train station.

What to bring:

💧2L of water

🥾 sneakers (no tennis shoes or dress shoes)

🥪 your picnic lunch and snacks

Les Échappées de Cécilia offers nature experiences less than 2 hours from Paris, with hikes that are 100% accessible by public transportation. My routes are carefully designed to combine a change of scenery with comfort and to create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere ;)

The app I've been waiting for for years.

"I'm speechless. This is the app I've always dreamed of having! A way to meet people and have unique experiences. I've already done 2 experiences: a bivouac at 2000m altitude + a tasting in Burgundy. It was incredible."

“Finally, an app for travelers who hate being tourists! Meet People is like having a local friend in every city. Thanks to the app, I met passionate local guides who showed me hidden gems, secret restaurants, and shared stories no guidebook ever would. The experience is seamless, and the 'matches' are thoughtfully designed. It's an intelligent blend of technology and genuine human connection, perfect for those who want to travel differently.”
