Petit Barbeau walking trail - Seine et Forêt, marked trail

The Office de Tourisme du Pays de Fontainebleau has published this tour, which takes you from the charming village of Samois-sur-Seine to discover a wide variety of tree species.

Between the Seine and the forest, take advantage of this walk to recharge your batteries!

The walk starts from the Petit Barbeau parking lot. The route takes you along the banks of the Seine, sheltered by the forest. Along the way, walkers are invited to observe the diversity of the forest's tree species and to discover a number of carefully preserved remarkable trees (blue paint circle). In this setting, it's not unusual to come across numerous species of birds.

This itinerary invites you to observe the diversity of forest species and discover some of the remarkable trees carefully preserved along the banks of the Seine. Remarkable trees are identified and listed, and the most remarkable are classified by rarity, size, botanical peculiarity or sometimes curious shape... These trees are marked with a blue circle.

The alliance of river and forest is favorable to many bird species: many woodpeckers, common buzzards, sparrowhawks and woodcock frequent the forest, while the river is home to cormorants, grey herons, kingfishers and many species of ducks. Cold winters bring rare species to the Seine. A dive into the heart of beautiful biodiversity.
