In Tremblay, several trails of different lengths meet a local heritage that ranges from a church with a history of reconstruction to a walking tour of the village. There is also Little Parc, a place for a stroll, and an autumn Pommé tradition. You can tailor your stay to the trail length, scenery, local history or season.
Trails by time and scenery
Three routes can be compared by their stated lengths and durations. The Boucle d’Organtine is 9.5 km and takes 2 hours 40 minutes. La Balade à Louis is 14 km long, with a stated duration of 3 hours 30 minutes. The Sentier des Semis covers 14.5 km and takes 3 hours 40 minutes. The Boucle d’Organtine is therefore the shortest route and has the shortest stated duration. There is only a ten-minute difference between the stated times for the two longer routes; their lengths differ by half a kilometre. Check local conditions before each walk. The Sentier des Semis starts at Place de l’église. Before setting out, also check whether any temporary changes affect access.
The landscape features can also help you choose: the Boucle d’Organtine passes through forests and heathland and offers viewpoints. La Balade à Louis goes through bocage landscapes, along the banks of the Loisance and past old mills. So you can choose not only by the stated duration, but also by the specific landscapes described.
The former railway line in Tremblay is now a Voie verte, a greenway for non-motorised traffic.
