Wednesday 13 July at Saâcy sur Marne

village church at Citry sur Marne

Dear Hikers,



Next Wednesday, 13 July, Jean-Louis Narjoux will lead us on the hillsides of the Marne River and around two towns in the northern part of the Seine et Marne department, east of Paris. This will be a new itinerary for Ile de France Walkers. Here is Jean-Louis' information: 

For July 13th I propose an 18-kilometer walk in the countryside around Méry and Saâcy on the Marne. Varied scenery, attractive but hilly, with some ups and downs. Count on about five hours walking, plus our noonday picnic.

Getting there: we'll meet at the Gare de l'Est and catch the 8.50 train ZIMO, headed for Château Thierry. We arrive at the station Nantueil-Saâcy (zone 6) at 9.47.

Coming back: we'll catch the return train at Nantueil-Saâcy, either at 16.19 to arrive in Paris at 17.08; or at 17.19 to arrive in Paris at 18.06.

Pour le 13 juillet je propose une rando de 18 km sur les coteaux de la Marne autour de Méry sur Marne et Saâcy sur Marne. Paysages variés, intéressants mais vallonnés, c’est-à-dire avec des montées et des descentes... Prévoir 5h de marche environ (hors pique-nique)



Rendez Vous : Gare de l'Est,  train "ZIMO", départ 08h50, en direction de Chateau-Thierry

pour NANTEUIL-SAâCY où nous arriverons à 09h37.



On peut viser un retour de NANTEUIL-SAâCY à 16h19 (17h08 gare de l'Est) ou 17h19 (18h08 gare de l'Est).



You will need a picnic lunch and good walking shoes.


See you on Wednesday!
