Longer walk  

Parmain - Nesle  -   about 23 k  

To give Daniel R. a bit of a break, I will lead the walk this week, with his help still, to make sure we take the nicest way back to the station. 

We will walk in a loop from Parmain. Varied landscape and terrain. Estimated cumulative elevation gain: about 450m.

Wear good footwear. Bring a picnic lunch, snacks and enough water.

Getting there:

We will aim to take an early train not to finish too late but also in case of problems due to the SNCF strike ending in the morning, this will allow us to take a later train if need be.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

-Take train H POVA to Persan Beaumont at 8.30 from Gare du Nord, get off at l’Isle Adam-Parmain, arriving at 9.19.                     

Zone 5 (regular return fare, 14.20€).  I will meet you at Gare du Nord by the platforms, we will sit at the rear end (or a little bit farther down if the train is full). If you are not familiar with Gare du Nord, arrive early enough to make your way through the maze there.

-Return trains from l’Isle Adam-Parmain : direct trains at 16.39 (arr:17.29); 17:09 (arr: 17.59); 17:39 (arr: 18.29)

.There are other frequent trains that are not direct (1h 05 min).

See you on Wednesday!

NB: Meeting point is at/on the platform unless otherwise stated , those who wish to travel together usually sit in the rear car.
