Hiking trails, village stories, a Romanesque church and horse-riding activities give Nonville its varied character. To plan your stay, you can first decide what interests you most: a specific hiking route, the history of the village or a horse-riding activity. This also makes it easier to find a holiday rental that suits your plans.

Hiking and landscape

Nonville is part of the « Rivières du Loing et du Lunain » Natura 2000 site. It covers 400 hectares and around 58 kilometres of waterways in 23 municipalities in the Seine-et-Marne département. It is designated as a Special Area of Conservation under the European Habitats Directive. This scale places Nonville within a protected area that extends beyond the municipality.

There are several useful reference points for planning a specific outing: the municipal hiking list includes the « Ballade d'Anonvilla », a 13.2-kilometre route. The « Balade autour d'Anonvilla » hike runs around Nonville through woods and fields and along the Lunain valley. It is certified and marked with yellow waymarkers by CODERANDO77. As the markings depend on local maintenance, check the current route and waymarking before setting out.

The church and local stories

The Église Saint-Michel dates from the 12th century and is dedicated to Saint Michael. Its Romanesque nave has a barrel vault—a curved, lengthwise vault. Those interested in architectural history will find not only the church’s age but also this distinctive architectural feature. The church also houses the altarpiece of Saint-Loup. Local tradition links it to the healing of childhood fevers and—as a play on words—to protection from a fear of wolves.

Signs entitled « Raconte-moi mon village » also focus on local heritage. They share anecdotes and stories that have shaped the area. The locations of the signs may change, so check where they can currently be found before visiting.

Horse-riding activities and practical planning

The Écuries de Nonville offers trail rides, riding lessons and courses; its services also include boarding ponies and horses. Chauville Equestre offers an equestrian centre, horse breeding and excursions. The listed areas of focus therefore differ: the Écuries offers trail rides and lessons as well as animal boarding, while Chauville Equestre also lists breeding and excursions. If you plan to take part in either activity, check current dates and participation requirements in advance.

Nonville has five bus stops and is served by six regular bus routes. If you are planning to travel by bus, check the current routes and timetables before your journey, as this information may change.

When looking for a holiday rental in Nonville, it helps to decide what you want to focus on during your stay: hiking, local history or a horse-riding activity each raises different planning questions.
