With less carbon emission
→ All public transport for the area is on this map: PDF IdF Mobilités secteur Provins (68) (sadly the numbers of the regular bus lines have not been updated since they changed in august 2023)
→ Here is a very efficient search tool for IdF Mobilités by line, name or stop for either bus, RER/train, metro or tram par ligne. Useful for train P info for coming from Paris or local buses to get closer (look up « Jaulnes » or « Bray », or « Longueville », the closest station, for example).
Train + hitch-hiking/bus/walking/cycling : from Paris Gare de l’Est, train (TER « transport express régionnal ») line P for Provins, leaves every 47′ of the hour, Longueville stop (1h01), then:
- we come to pick you up
- (Mon to Sat) mini-bus service by IdF–Mobilités « transport à la demande » to Neuvry (sorry, web page not translated)
- (Mon to Sat) bus line 3201, Place des Buttes (Bray-sur-Seine) stop and then we come to pick you up.
- (Mon to Sat) bus line 3201, Jaulnes Boulodrome* stop (32min ride, useful departure times : 12:10, 13:55, 15:55, 16:55, 17:55), then 2,96 km walk (35min) or cycle (! tracks, 7min) to Neuvry over the « écluse de Jaulnes » (Jaulnes lock bridge) — right after the lock, then the middle track at the fork, through the woods.
- Cycle, 11,1km (34min) via Chalmaison/Everly/Réserve Naturelle ( ! tracks, flat) or 13,6km via Chalmaison/Everly/Grand Peugny (road, flat)
- hitch-hike towards Bray-sur-Seine, at your own risk of course!
* It’s worth a try to ask the driver if they can stop at the « Mairie » instead of the usual stop, because the bridge is just behind that and you drive past whereas the bus stop is at the end of the village, which is a bummer.
Bus : The seine-et-marne buses are not very well known but there is a decent network:
- Seine et Marne Express (connections between main towns) info here (FR), PDF map here
- 3202 Montereau–Bray ; 3201 Provins/Longueville–Bray/Jaulnes
Walking/cycling/other : Think to walk or to cycle (if you are on the south side of the Seine remember you can cross on the « écluse de Jaulnes » even though Google Maps doesn’t show that option), or canoe if you’re up for that, the Seine is not far at all.
Why, you are welcome to horse-ride to ours even! (this is truly a friend’s plan for 2024)
Be brave and inventive 🙂
With More carbon emission
Car/other : classicaly and easily, Neuvry is accessible by car, we’ll leave you with your maps to find the way! We are north of Sens, south of Provins, east of Montereau-Fault-Yonne and west of Nogent-sur-Seine. There is a ULM base in Neuvry, so who knows, maybe some day someone will visit from above!
Having said this, we do encourage you to carpool if you come driving, either look for some or offer it, and/or do pick up hitch-hikers on your way if you bump into any…
To stay
At ours [in a bed]: We are always happy to host a few people at ours at the other end of the hamlet (7min walk), contact us to know if there’s space 🙂
[camping] : otherwise you can also pitch your tent, hammoc, plaid or other at the Manse (lots of space, hot shower, toilet, gaz cooker, otherwise very rudimentary) or in our garden (smaller but still enough space and access to our house). Same thing, ask us if you’re interested.
At friends’ : Local friends are often happy to set up a few people for a couple of nights if we’re full, great mutual help network, contact us to see if it’s possible.
At professionals’ : Quite a few gîte, b&b, hôtel and other options around, we’ll let you browse the web for that — we’ll just point out our friends across the river who run the domaine de Toussacq, upmarket and quiet with a buddist touch…
