PR21 in the footsteps of Corot in Coubron

Part of this PR itinerary, Coteaux de l'Aulnoye territory, represents 900 ha of wooded and green spaces. The walker will discover different viewpoints of the town of Coubron, its village, its farmed fields, its vines and its forests. From Dhuis‘s forest the walker will reach Bondy‘s forest and will notice lakes, fauna and flaura. This itinerary allows you to discover Seine-Saint-Denis through a mosaic view of unexpected landscapes. The artist Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot often resided in Coubron between 1867 and 1875. You will follow his traces in one of his favorite cities.
