IDF WALK for Wednesday September 16.
This Wednesday September 16 Bob Levy is proposing a walk of some 17 Kilometres, beginning and ending at St. REMY LE CHEVREUSE (RER ‘B’). There will be NO bailouts on this walk though it is possible to catch a bus for the final 2-3 kilometres back to Saint Remy (see below).
The Walk takes us up the gentle abandoned Rambouillet railroad grade then east through the villages of Boullay and Herbourville to the Chateau de Breteuil. We will have an early lunch on the grounds outside the chateau. After lunch it is through forest trail to the beautiful village Choisel and onward to Sablons. From there a climb to La Madeleine Chateau overlooking Chevreuse, then down along the lovely River Yvette and back to Saint Remy. The pace will be brisk.
NOTES: The walk is relatively easy and flat. The exceptions are these:
1. Following lunch, a narrow rocky downhill trail toward Choisiel, and
2. At the three-quarter mark, a climb to Chateau Madeleine. There is an alternative, flat trail that bypasses the climb and the Chateau. A map will be distributed for those who desire it.
3. There is a bus from the village CHEVREUSE to St. REMY le CHEVREUSE. You can board at the MARIE / CITY HALL. Its schedule is at approximately noon, 1:00 and 2:00 PM. The ride is about 10 minutes.
TRANSPORTATION
Meet at THE REAR of the platform ‘RER B’ CHATELET-LES HALES, DIRECTION ST. REMY LES CHEVREUSE. Meet at 9:15 for the train at 9:23. This train makes later stops at ST. MICHEL, LUX, PORT ROYAL, DENFERT, UNIVERSITAIRE, BOURG LA REINE.
There are trains from St. Remy to Paris every 15-20 minutes at the end of the trip.
Bring the usual gear. ON second thought, as Bob Levy is leading, bring even more than the usual gear.
