Next Wednesday we have two walks, a walk along the Marne with Daniel Perot and Dominika Raveau, and a loop from Fontaine le Port with Judy. Remember, you need personal accident and liability insurance to hike with us.
From Dominika:
Dear Hikers,
As a short option for next Wednesday, I propose an easy and nice 11 km walk southeast of Paris.
We will walk around the peninsula of St Maur-des-Fossés where many famous people lived or worked.
It is almost entirely surrounded by a loop of the river Marne and by numerous isles;
we will cross l'Ile de Brise-Pain et l'Ile de St Catherine. http://mathieu.

It is possible to leave after 7km, after having picnic, 1 more km to the station Varenne Chennevieres RER A.
Getting there:
Take RER A at Châtelet-Les Halles, Direction Boissy-Saint-Léger at 9:47
Arriving at Saint-Maur-Créteil at 10:05 zones 1- 3

from Judy:
Here we go then - this week a choice between quite long and really quite long ! We will walk in the Fontainebleau Forest and along the banks of the Seine on an almost entirely flat trail between Fontaine le Port and Bois le Roi for 18 km and then for the brave / foolhardy there is the option to do another 5.5km back to Fontaine le Port . Obviously if the weather is inclement we can all throw in the towel at Bois le Roi , but if it's at all reasonable I hope someone will keep me company for the last part otherwise I shall be lonely ! We will have to keep up a reasonable pace otherwise those choosing the longer option will need head torches!
TRAVEL
From Gare de Lyon take line R direction Montargis at 9 .19 as far as Melun arriving at 9.44 where we have ONLY 6 MINUTES to change trains taking the 9.50 direction Montereau as far as Fontaine le Port ( zone 5 ) arriving at 10.02
The return trains from Bois le Roi are at 07 and 37 minutes past the hour and take 34 minutes to Gare de Lyon . I imagine the most likely train would be either the 3.07 or 3.37
The return trains from Fontaine le Port are hourly at 55 minutes past the hour and take 46 minutes to Gare de Lyon (changing again at Melun )
Let's travel together in the rear of the train
You know the drill : wear suitable clothing and footwear for the mud and the season ( winter in case you have forgotten ) , bring a picnic lunch and plenty of water .
Hope to see lots of you on Wednesday
