Nemours – Dordives
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.
