Wednesday 30 June at St Germain en Laye

St Germain en Laye, Trajan's Column


Chers randonneurs,

C'est Kat qui conduira la randonnée de mercredi 30 juin de Saint-Geramin-en-Laye à Maisons-Laffitte.


The walk will start at St Germain en Laye. There are trains every ten minutes or so. Kat proposes two possibilities for getting there, both using line A, both trains marked with the code ZEBU.
  • Châtelet les Halles at 9:33, Etoile at 9:39 arriving at Saint Germain-en-Laye 10:03
  • Châtelet les Halles at 9:43, Etoile at 9:49 arriving at Saint Germain-en-Laye 10:13
The 10.15 rendezvous is in Saint Germain en Laye at the cafe across the street from the RER exit and the chateau.

The walk will be about 10 km, but we can add more if our group is in the mood for more. The weather report predicts close to 30 degrees for the day, so it might be a good idea to have a shorter walk this week.

We will walk along The Terrasse de Saint Germain, designed by Le Nôtre, about 2,4 km long. There is a beautifull view of the valley of the Seine and the western suburbs of Paris. Then into the woods of the foret de Saint Germain, coming out at Maisons Laffitte where we'll have a refreshing drink. 


We will finish at the RER station of Maisons Laffitte where there are trains for Paris every 10 minutes.


Kat's cell phone number is 06 74 10 46 04.
