the old railway line of the Bastille station (also called Chemin des Roses in Seine et Marne and Végétale (formerly Tégéval) in Val de Marne) is gradually being developed into a cycle/pedestrian path over the entire route not used by the RER A or the TGV, that is to say roughly from Boissy to the Yèbles terminus (40 km further), via the stations of Mandres, Brie-comte-Robert, Grisy, Coubert, etc... The path is built from the TGV underground in Boissy to the terminus of the line (since 2023 with the connection between Mandres and Servon which did not exist). Overall magnificent, very pleasant and on a clean site (by definition). Only the connection between Servon and Brie is a little chaotic with the crossing of the Francilienne and the N19, not very picturesque. To do!!

A long, very rolling road to do with the family. I even walked there a little bit in the company of a little fox.
