During this stage, you can visit the bicycle museum in the medieval town of Moret-sur-Loing or try your hand at canoeing down the River Loing.

The pleasant towpath, between marshes and wooded areas, leads to Nemours, with its remarkable cultural heritage, including a castle and a prehistory museum.

From Nemours, the greenway follows the Loing river, lined with numerous lakes, including the one at Souppes-sur-Loing, which is open for swimming during the summer season.

At Bagneaux, the route passes by the blast furnaces of cutting-edge glass industries (Corning, Keraglass).

Shortly before Dordives, a short detour to the charming medieval town of Château-Landon allows you to enjoy the superb panorama over the valley.

Ponds, woodlands and marshy saussaies punctuate this route, which passes close to typical small towns in the Gâtinais region such as Nargis and Ferrières. It reaches the Buges lock, where the Briare, Orléans and Loing canals converge, and then leads to Montargis, the little Venice of the Gâtinais region.

North of Montargis,  an alternative route to the Scandibérique, which is more direct, connects to Orléans.

• In Villeneuve-le-Roi, the official Scandibérique route continues along the left bank of the Seine and uses the Ablon locks footbridge, which is impassable with a loaded bicycle!
• Between Juvisy and Ris-Orangis, do not follow the signs on the left bank of the Seine due to a lack of cycle facilities on the Première Armée Française bridge – work in progress. The route then runs alongside the RN7, which is a decent but noisy cycle path. Follow the route on the right bank indicated on the map, which is simple, direct and quiet.

Shortly after Corbeil-Essonnes, at Le Coudray-Montceaux, impressive view from the giant lock.

At the edge of Gâtinais Park, the route becomes more peaceful and bucolic. It passes in front of the former power station of the Leroy wallpaper factory, which has been converted into a cultural centre, and leads to Melun, whose historic centre is located on Île Saint-Etienne.

In Bois-le-Roi, large villas built at the end of the 19th century, nicknamed “Les Affolantes”, overlook the Seine. The route crosses its leisure park and heads towards Samois-sur-Seine, one of the most beautiful villages in Île-de-France.

The Sisley walk in Saint-Mammès allows visitors to discover some of the painter’s sketches.

From Eurovelo 3, just before the Valvins bridge, you can reach the Château de Fontainebleau and its grounds by following the Valvins bridge–Fontainebleau route.
