On Wednesday 13 June we will have two options the first of which is described below. Dominique will take us to the Roseraie in Fontenay aux Roses.
Information for the second option will appear in the next blog post. It will be in Fontainebleau Forest, the Circuit Colinet-Dénecourt number 11, about 16 km, led by Mary Lynne. There will be several rather steep climbs and descents.
Dominique would like to know as soon as possible if you plan to join her so that she can reserve places at the rose garden.
Next Wednesday 13 June we will walk from Fontenay aux Roses to l'Haÿ les Roses passing through Sceaux and Bourg la Reine. We will visit the famous Roseraie, 3½ hours in all. The terrain is flat with an easy climb to the Roseraie. I've booked a guided visit but have to confirm it. The visit costs 2.25€ each for a group of at least 15 people. Normal entry without guide 3.00€.
La Roseraie de l’Haÿ les Roses, created in 1899 — six years before the rose garden at Bagatelle — is the first garden entirely devoted to the queen of flowers, the first modern rose garden. http://photocosmos.centerblog.
Travel details (zone 3):
Arrival: Gare de Fontenay aux Roses (zone 3) at 9.28 — exit 1, rue Félix Pécaud. Meeting in front of the station.
Return: Gare de Bourg la Reine (zone 3) on RER B — frequent trains to Paris.
There is a nice picnic place with wooden tables in the park so I'm going to order sunshine. But you'd better bring your rain gear, anyway.
If you plan to come and enjoy beautiful colours and smells, please email me quickly at this address: dominika.raveau@googlemail.com
Kind regards,
Dominique
