On Wednesday 22 April, Anne-Marie, Prudence and Claude will lead us on a 12 km, four hour walk through charming countryside along the Canal de Meaux and the Marne River from Esbly to Lagny. On the way, we will pass the birthplace of Louis Braille and the astonishing sculpture garden of Dhuys, an open-air artist’s studio with more than a dozen sculptures made from stones recycled from the ruins of a nearby bridge and aqueduct which was destroyed during the Second World War.
This walk is through flat terrain with the exception of one short but fairly steep hill.
Departure: Gare de L’Est, train 20364119, which leaves at 9:30 in the direction of Meaux, arriving at Esbly, zone 6, at 10:01
Return: from the gare de Lagny, zone 5, to Paris, Gare de L’Est. Trains leave Lagny every half hour.
Remember the usual picnic lunch, rain gear, and possibly sun protection if we are lucky with the weather.
Please inform Prudence or Claude if you intend to come on this walk
