Wednesday 22 August along the Coulée Verte

Chemin des Godets at Anthony
Next Wednesday we will do an easy walk of about 13 km at a mild pace along the Coulée Verte, located south of Paris. Created in the 1980’s when the TGV Atlantique was built, the space above and alongside the railroad line was transformed into a veritable green ribbon for hikers and cyclists. We'll start our walk at Châtillon then follow the track through Bagneux, Fontenay aux Roses, with a little detour to the centre of Chätenay, a birthplace of Voltaire, to see the old church and an ancien lavoir. From Antony to Verrières we'll take the Coulée Verte bis, an alternative more agreeable for this hot weather with a little spring and ponds.
You will need a picnic lunch, a lot of water and don't forget your hats. 
Meeting place:
Take the Metro line 13 that passes through Gare St. Lazare and Gare Montparnasse direction Chatillon-Montrouge.
Get off at Châtillon-Montrouge (terminus, zone 3), take la Sortie Châtillon (on right) where I will wait for you.
We should start at not later than 9am to avoid a great heat so please come earlier.

Getting back:
Return on the RER B or C from Massy Verrières (zone 4) around 2pm with trains every 20 minutes.
