Wednesday 26 August , a short walk in the Forêt des Quatre Piliers


This week’s walk will be relatively short (9 km) forest walk in the Yvelines between Orgerus Béhoust and La Queue des Yvelines.


For those who would like to visit a wonderful butterfly greenhouse, they can add another 4 km. at the end of the walk. More than 500 exotic butterflies can be seen with explanatory panels about their habits, defense, life cycle, etc. The entry fee is 7 €. There is a promotion these last two weeks of August where a child can enter free with a paying adult.
