Hike for 6 June 2018

VALLEY OF THE BIEVRE   -  about 15k

Hello Walkers,                                                                                                                                                

For next Wednesday I propose a nice 16km walk with various landscapes in the middle of the valley of the Bièvre river.

We will start in Jouy en Josas and climb through woods with ponds and golf course to Plateau de Saclay. There we will take paths through fields, 

seeing bucolic scenes, farms and the old village of Saclay then will follow the Favreuse ditch through woods leading to the Gare d'Igny (end of the walk). 

Steep climb and descent at the beginning of the walk, walking sticks will be very useful.

Jouy en Josas and Igny are situated in zone 4.
