On Wednesday 2 November, Bob Levy will lead a 16 km walk from Boussy Saint Antoine (zone 4, RER D) along the River Yerres and onward - hopefully through Fall foliage (photos taken this week) - to Boissy Saint Léger (zone 4, RER A).
It is a hike noteworthy (1) for the fact that the first half of the walk was done in July 2011 and many might have missed it, (2) for those desiring a shorter day, a 7-8 km option is available, and (3) for those who do the complete walk, they will be rewarded by a kilometer's stroll along a real 'live' moat – une douve – surrounding the (unseen) Château la Grange.
For those doing the entire walk, please note that currently some two kilometers of the route have a mud coating (not deep), so water resistant shoes are a must.
DIRECTIONS:
Depart: Gare de Lyon RER D, direction Melun, rear of the platform. Be there at 8:55 for the train at 9:08. Don't forget the clocks have changed and so 9:00 will not feel so early.
Return:
For those desiring the shorter day, return from Gare de Yerres, RER D. Trains to Paris every 15 minutes. The gare is a ten minute walk from the trail. Maps will be provided.
For those doing the entire walk, return from BOISSY, RER 'A', trains to Paris every 8 minutes. Please purchase your Boissy–Paris tickets in the morning at your home station, as the gare at Boissy is very crowded and has only two machines.
Bring appropriate clothes, strong shoes and a picnic lunch, including apples with cores for Mlle Trixie.
