Dear Hikers.This week we will return to the Essonne department for one of idfwalkers' favorites, a lovely walk along the Juine River.
This 14 km hike will start in BOURAY sur Juine and will end at LARDY. RER C, zone #5.
The total distance will still be about 14 kilometers.
BOURAY to LARDY RER (the first of two times we go through LARDY 6 kilometers
LARDY to CHAMARANDE RER and The Chateau 10 kilometers
CHAMARANDE to LARDY RER (Second of two times) 14-15 kilometers
For anyone driving to BOURAY you will need to take the RER one station at the end of the day.
A gentle uphill onto a forest path leading to LARDY, then on through the forest to CHAMARANDE hopefully passing its Chateau. The walk from Chamarande to Lardy is along the River Juine passing a particularly lovely spot in Janville, where there is a beautiful park, and old mill, a small dam, and many old stone houses.TRANSPORTATIONWe will meet at the RER 'C', BIBLIOTHEQUE F. MITTERRAND, at 8:55 for the train ELBA, 9:05, DIRECTION St. MARTIN D'ETAMPES, arriving at Bouray at 9:45.(This same train passes through INVALIDES at 8:52, and St. MICHEL / NOTRE DAME at 8:58)We will meet at the REAR of the platform, the last car of the train.The RER 'C' platforms can be confusing.
