Wednesday 15 June from Moret to Montigny

Alfred Sisley, Moret sur Loing
Dear Walkers,
Following on the heels of our lovely walk in the Fontainebleau Forest last week, we will continue in the region with Daniel leading us. Here is his information:

Many of you enjoyed the hike of June 8. It's not over. Given its success, we'll stay in the region.On Wednesday 15 June we will start from Morêt-sur-Loing (station Môret/Veneux-les-Sablons) and visit the medieval et historical city. Great!


The hike will continue through the nature reserve of the plain of Sorques with a bucolic stroll, possibly accompanied by a flock of dragonflies, along the Loing (river) which will led us to Montigny-sur-Loing, our train station.

Getting there: *Gare de Lyon*, SNCF train GIMO, leaves *10:05*, direction
Montargis, arrives at *Moret les Sablons, zone 6, at 10:47*. We will travel
in the next to last car leaving the Gare de Lyon. (It seems you don't like being in the last one.)

Give yourself plenty of time. Last week problems with the RER A almost caused some hikers to miss the train. Last week it left from Quai J in the Salle Diderot. Remember that there are two sets of platforms at the Gare de Lyon, colored coded blue and yellow. Check the departure panels to know from where our train departs. 

Return: from Montigny, also in zone 6. Trains leave about every hour. We will aim for the 16:50 train which arrives at 17:41 at the Gare de Lyon.
----
The easy and splendid walk is 14 km = 3½ or 4 hours. + visit of the city.
Bring along water, some lunch and hiking equipment.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
