Walk for 10 April 2019

1 – Sous les cerisiers en fleurs – 9 km
Hello Walkers,

As a short option for next Wednesday, I propose a 9 km walk along the Coulée verte, located south of Paris.
We'll start at Châtillon then follow the green ribbon through Bagneux, Fontenay aux Roses and Sceaux with a detour to Parc de Sceaux. There we'll have a look on the Château and picnic under the cherry trees in bloom. La pointe of this hike is to appreciate the beauty of the flowers (o-hanami) of cherry trees (sakura) and share the picnic with friends, without haste, so bring something to sit on and enjoy the instant.

2 – Juziers – 22 km

Dear Hiking friends
This week I propose you to discover a new route in the French Vexin Park.

From Juziers, we head north to reach OInville Moncient then continue to join Breui en Vexin. In Oinville we can see windmills and washhouses and before Breuil we go to see the sepulchral alley of the Cave aux Fées.

This new course is for athletes (who you are) with its 22 km and 450 m vertical drop.
We will maintain a sustained rhythm in order not to return too late. No bailout.
As usual, take a picnic lunch, water and of course, shoes and clothing adapted to the season,
Getting there:
From Paris St Lazare Train MICE at 9h02 to Mantes la Jolie via Conflans, arriving at Juziers at 9h53 where I will wait for you. Return by the same station.
Meet up in front of the platform, travel in the rear car with the group if you wish.
See you on Wednesday.
Daniel
