Route 3: Chevry Gometz – Bures-sur-Yvette trails

After two short courses, the third increases the distance by doubling the mileage. You leave again through the park of the Grande Maison. But this time, you turn west towards Gif-sur-Yvette and its forest. To get there, you climb steps for about a hundred meters at the second kilometer. This is the steepest slope of the course. If you want to harden your exit, you can linger there for a mini stairs session.

You then enter the forest which you cross from east to west. At the end, you discover a magnificent view of the Chevreuse valley. You also come across several bodies of water that punctuate the wooded setting of the forest paths. You go south and walk along a small wood, with a beautiful open landscape on the fields to your right.

You have arrived in the charming village of Gometz-le-Châtel, where there are some very charming little ponds. You have now completed two thirds of the course. You leave the town to head towards the Fauvettes viaduct. You cross it from below and draw a loop at the level of the Butte à Gornet. This small bump is a new opportunity to work on your uphill effort. Go back below the viaduct and return to the starting point by crossing the forest of Bures-sur-Yvette. There are only three kilometers left, you can throw your last strength by giving everything until the end!
