November 5 hike

This coming Wednesday, we will walk 16 km with Daniel Perot from Moret-sur-Loing to  Montigny-sur-Loing in the department of the Seine et Marne. Daniel will lead is through the charming and historic town of Moret-sur-Loing (with some comments, ) where the impressionist painter Alfred Sisley spent the last years of his life. Then we will then head out of town along the Loing River to the Plaine de Sorques. The river is very clear and you can see fish all along, and a little further look at the birds from an observatory. (Bring binoculars) The hike will end in Montigny-sur-Loing where we will catch the train back to Paris.
 
We will have an early lunch around 11:30 in Moret as there are very few benches along the river and there may be mud. The weather forecast predicts rain so come equipped.

Each hiker needs to have personal accident and liability insurance.
