Wednesday 8 June in the forest of Fontainebleau

Dear Hikers,
Next Wednesday, June 8, Prudence and Mary Lynne will lead us in the beautiful Fontainebleau Forest.  Here is their information:
Our itinerary, approximately 14 km, will start at the train station of Moret Veneux les Sablons and end at the station of Fontainebleau Avon. We will hike through typical Fontainebleau terrain of rocks (le Rocher d’Avon) and hills with a good dose of flat terrain through the woods. Additional rock scrambling will be possible. At the end of the hike, we will pass through the gardens and woods of the chateau, so that those who wish to may stay and visit the chateau. Those who continue to the station will take a short break along the grand canal, which predated the one at Versailles by 60 years, by the way.
Getting there: Gare de Lyon, train GIMO, leaves 10:05, direction Montargis, arrives at Moret les Sablons, zone 6, at 10:47. We will travel in the last car going out of the Gare de Lyon.
Return: from Fontainebleau, also in zone 6. Trains leave about every half hour. We will aim for the 17:04 train which arrives at 17:41 at the Gore de Lyon.
You will need a picnic lunch, good hiking shoes, and maybe rain protection.
See you on Wednesday!
