Hike for 17 April

Fontainebleau Forest

Longer hike

The hike will start and end in Fontainebleau-Avon. It should be about 17k.

We will walk through the forest to Rochers du Mont Ussy and to Rochers Cassepot where we will have lunch.

There will be some ups and downs (estimated cumulative elevation gain: 300m). We will walk at a steady pace.

Wear good footwear, bring enough water and snacks.

Shorter hike with Jean-Louis about 14k

The hike will follow the general same route, following easier paths if need be. After lunch at Rochers Cassepot, you will return to the station by a shorter and easier route, at least 5k. To be discussed at lunch or earlier if need be.

Getting there:

-Take train to Montargis at 9.16 from Gare de Lyon, arriving at Fontainebleau-Avon 9.55, Zone 5 (the train stops at Melun).

Departure should be from Hall 1 -lettered platforms- but check on arrival.                                                   I will meet you at Gare de Lyon.

-Return trains from Fontainebleau-Avon every half hour, 40 min journey:

15:34 -16.03 – 16:32 – 17h03 …

There is a brasserie next to the train station.

If you do not have a “Passe Navigo”, or benefit from any discounted fares, buy a "Mobilis 5 zones”.

See you on Wednesday,

Laurence

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