Wednesday 27 July in the forest of Carnelle

The Lac Bleu


On Wednesday July 27th,  Daniel will lead us in the Forêt de Carnelle. Here is his information:

We'll take the train POMA from the Gare du Nord (surface) at 9:36, arriving at Presles Courcelles (zone 5) at 10:17. (Direction Persan-Beaumont, via Montsoult-Maffliers). We will meet at the end of the platform and board the last car (i.e. the one closest to our meeting point). The platforms for the suburbs (banlieue) are on the far right part of the station. If you are unfamiliar with the Gare du Nord, it would be wise to give yourself extra time to navigate through the station.

Return from Gare de Viarmes (also zone 5) on another line. Get another single ticket.
 15:58 / Paris 16:42
 16:57 / Paris 17:41
 17:27 / Paris 18:11 

The walk will cover from 14 to 16 kilometers depending on the routes we choose together. Be prepared for a couple of hills. 

On the menu: la Pierre Turquaise (megalith), la route forestière du Bois Belle-Fille leading to l'Etang Bleu, where we shall need a solid picnic and water. On our way we can observe deer and llamas in their enclosure.

One more effort: the last upward slope is breathtaking, and not because the view. "La forêt de Carnelle se mérite!" Your reward: a brand new train should take us from Viarmes to Paris.

Looking forward to seeing you. Bring your smiles and sunshine will reward us.
