Parvis de La Défense – Grande Arche,
A stone's throw from Paris, in the rue des Rosiers in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, hides one of the must-do activities of the east of the Ile-de-France region.
Between the lively streets, the covered markets, the mythical cafés (such as La Chope des Puces or the Café Paul Bert) and the various "puciers" : you come here to bargain-hunt, walk or drink a coffee in a timeless atmosphere.

Admission to the flea market is free of charge.
The markets and second-hand dealers are open from Saturday to Monday : Saturday & Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Head to the Chevreuse Valley, the green lung of the south of the Ile-de-France region, for an autumn walk just 30 minutes from Paris, and still in Île-de-France.
Forest paths, clearings, small villages and views of the valley from the very high perched Viaduc des Fauvettes (very popular with climbing fans with its 30 meters high).
Several routes are possible, depending on your desire and your abilities of the day. A leisurely ride or a more sporty loop, the choice is yours.
You will find many examples of courses online.
Remember to bring good shoes : some passages can be muddy or slippery depending on the season.
The departures of your rides can be from the RER B station in Bures-sur-Yvette.
