hike for August 28


Dear Hikers,

Michel Browne will lead our hike on August 28. Here is his information.

Our 16 km walk will take us from  the Lagny-Thorigny SNCF station to the Torcy RER A station.

The walk will be mostly along the Valley of the “Gondoire” and of the “Brosse” two streams that flow into the Marne.
After a quick walk east along the Marne river to avoid the city of Lagny, we’ll go south and uphill through the Bois de Chigny, before going back down to the Gondoire river.  A lot of new paths have just been created and we’ll take advantage of that.  Perfect picnic spot half way on the stream.  After lunch we’ll go uphill again, passing in front of the Château de Guermantes.  Again following a brand new path, we’ll go back down to the valley of la “Brosse”.  From there, we’ll go through the Château de Rentilly domain that belongs to the “Departement” to reach the RER in Torcy.
The walk is easy, there are no diffilcuties.   Plenty of technical stops available everywhere.
However, both valleys of Gondoire and Brosse being in the middle of a green remote spot, there is no possible escape before the end of the walk.
Getting there: To be in Lagny-Thorigny, around 10, take the 9h31 train toward Meaux, line P from Gare de l’Est.  I’ll wait for you in Lagny.  

Return will be from the Torcy RER A station, trains every 10 minutes to most big stations in Paris.
