Hike for January 27

Dear Hikers,

Our walk on Wednesday 27will be with Daniel Perot.
The distance will be 12/13 km (or longer for those who want to return to St. Germain en Laye on their own.)
Also: Optional visit in the Parc of Maisons-Laffitte: + 4/5 km.
----
The walk will be in the Forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. We will
start from Saint-Germain, admiring the château of François Ier and walking along
the château terrace with its panoramic view towards Paris. Then we will
zigzag through the forest to our destination at Maisons-Laffitte, a
lovely residential town known for its horse racing.
----
Transportation and meeting point.
Take the RER A,  direction Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
The train leaves Châtelet/les-Halles at 9:35 and Etoile/Charles-de-Gaulle at
9:41. Arriving at Saint-Germain-en-Laye at 10:05. We will return from the station "Maisons-Laffitte", on another branch of the RER A.
Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Maisons-Laffitte are in zone 4.
----
Arriving at St-Germain station, take the exit "église".  The meeting point is in front of the church.
----
Bring your picnic lunch, water and Winter gear.
Don't forget your "galette des rois" and your crowns.

----
Concernant le pique-nique --
Oublions le grignotage, ce sera meilleur pour la santé.
Amenons nos galettes des rois et partageons-les... avec ou sans frangipane, aux pommes, etc.
Ainsi nous aurons plusieurs couronnes, la marche n'en sera que plus joyeuse.
Ne faites pas de folie quand même, nous ne sommes pas encore roi ou reine.
Les chocolats resteront appréciés. Le cidre et la poire. Why not?

See you soon!
