Technical section with a beautiful descent

Highlight • Trail

This single has a nice descent (or climb!) which is an ideal playground for intermediate level mountain bikers or false beginners. This area is quite frequented by local mountain bikers.

May 31, 2025,FdM counter clockwise 29km

- At km 6.53, I turned 90° left; in fact, I might as well have turned 100° left instead.
- At km 7.18, at the Plumet crossroads, instead of going straight down, it's better to take the descent on the left.
- At km 14.4, I continued straight to the Trou du Tonnerre parking lot, but it's really just a …

June 18, 2022,Forêt de Montmorency - Taverny

The forest was owned by the Montmorencys until 1632, when Henri de Montmorency was executed, accused of conspiracy against Richelieu. On his death, the duchy was awarded to Henri de Bourbon-Condé, husband of the condemned man's sister.

Falling into the domain of the State during the Revolution, returned to the Prince of Condé in 1814, the forest was gradually fragmented …

April 2, 2023,Taberncienne -45km

I started recording my route from the Godard pond, I'm disappointed 😭. Hike that had 407 mountain bikers from memory and about 200 for the road. Lots of mud and slush. Course nothing to say almost well signposted (at times, there was a lack of precision). In total, the course must approach 800 D+. At the end of the track, …

September 4, 2022,Un dimanche à Montmorency

A quiet little Sunday with a little difference in altitude, complete with the nature picnic that it should be! 🍏🧃🥪
The hunting ponds are almost dry 😯! We even took a break on a beach among these ponds (the water being low!!)
It was really beautiful as usual and fun! I love this place!😁

September 12, 2021,Forêt bien sympa mais technique

Starting point next to the church because there is room to park.
It was my first e-bike ride in this forest.
It's been 20 years since I touched a bike and I have "only" 600 kms on the clock in 2 months.
I found this ride quite technical, you have to know how to master your descents and not be …

March 27, 2022,randonnée organisée : la Michel Bazire, tabernacienne

This was my first organized hike. The hike allowed me to discover areas that I did not know and also I know where I should not go. It went very well, I almost broke my teeth twice. The course was technical, big roots, steps; it was necessary to have a good piloting especially the proportioning on the level of brake. …

November 27, 2022,frépillonnaise -35km

Very difficult tour for me after 3 weeks of absence. The terrain was muddy (good grip) and slush (no grip which made rolling very difficult, the bike went sideways), the mechanics took a lot too. In short, apart from that, the signs were excellent + ravitos which were plentiful (which made me smile again 😁. There were also a lot …
