Wednesday 9 June from Melun to Fontaine le Port

Fontaine-le-Port (Seine-et-Marne) la Seine

Our walk on June 9 will be led by Daniel Perot. Here is his information.

Dear Hikers,

This Wednesday 9 June, we will resume the walk we started last November on the GR 2 along the Seine. This time we will hike from Melun to Fontaine le Port. The distance will be 16 km on flat terrain. It will be possible to leave the walk early and return to Paris from Bois le Roi or Chartrettes, in which case the distance would be 11,5 kilometers.

Getting there. − Take the train GIMO at gare de Lyon at 10:05 (direction Montargis). The arrival station is Melun at 10:31.

Purchase a one-way ticket as the return will be from a different station. If you are coming from the suburbs into Paris and out again to Melun, a ''Mobilis'' ticket for 6 zones is perhaps slightly cheaper and certainly much handier than purchasing separate tickets.

Meet at the head of the platform at the gare de Lyon. At Melun, exit to city centre (place Gallieni).

Return from Fontaine le Port at 15:58, arriving in Paris at 16:41. Or 16:58, arriving in Paris at 17.41.

Bring a picnic lunch, water, good shoes and rain gear, just in case.

If you wish to be informed of eventual changes or cancellations, please r.s.v.p. to
daniel.perot@free.fr with your cell number if you have one and your home phone if not.
