Wednesday 9 September, Blackberry season on the Mauldre


Dear Hikers,

This note contains information about two walks that Claude is going to lead this month.


1) VALLEE ET COTEAU DE LA MAULDRE


This week, September 9, Claude will lead us on a walk through woods and fields in the undulating countryside near the valley of the Mauldre. The walk will be a loop of approximately 15 km. There are no steep climbs. Blackberries are at their peak at this time so you just might want to bring a container for your collection.

Departure : SNCF train MOPI at 9 :43 from the Gare Montparnasse which arrives at the station Nezel-Aulnay (zone 6) at 10 :44. We will meet in front of the station.


Return trains from the same station are at 15:48 or 16:48, depending on our walking speed and how much time we spend picking blackberries.
Claude (06 84 14 55 35) will meet you at the Nezel-Aulnay station. Bring your picnic and rain gear.

2) DREUX


Claude is also planning a walk in and around the city of Dreux with its famous royal chapel and old historic area, approximately ten kilometers, on the 30th of September. In order to reserve a guide for a tour of the Royal Chapel , he would like to constitute a group of twenty people.

Please contact Claude asap if you are interested in this hike and visit.

See you on Wednesday !
