Hike for January 7, 2015


Welcome to the New Year with Ile de France Walkfriends! We will start 2015 with a hike in one of our all-time favorite places, the ForĂȘt de Fontainebleau and Laurence will be our leader. Her information is below. There will be another mailing soon about a proposal from Daniel Perot and news of our restaurant lunch together, but it is more urgent that I get the information about Wednesday's walk to you now.

The hike will start from Bois le Roi and will end in Fontainebleau-Avon. It should be about 14km, if I don’t miss any turns which is unlikely!
There is rain in the forecast so I have changed the route to avoid very slippery areas; however, there are quite a few leaves on the ground everywhere so wear good footwear and you may want to bring a pole/staff. 

GETTING THERE:

-Take train Gamu from Gare de Lyon direction Montargis at 9.19, arriving at Bois le Roi at 9.50, Zone 5 (the train stops at Melun. Departure should be from Hall 1, but check on arrival.)

I will meet you at Gare de Lyon, we will sit in the last car as usual.

-Return trains from Fontainebleau-Avon at 15.30 (arr:16.11) - 16.00 (arr:16.41) - 16:30(arr:17.15)
There is a brasserie next to the train station.

If you do not have a "Passe Navigo", or benefit from any discounted fares, buy a "Mobilis 5 zones" (16.10€)

Bring a snack & lunch.
See you on Wednesday! 

Happy New Year to all of you.

Laurence

ps: Sorry, but I don't have a cell phone.
