Hike for October 19

Hike for October 19 - Forêt de Sénart

Dear walkers,

Next Wednesday's walk should be a 17 km loop in the Forêt de Sénart starting and finishing in Champrosay, Draveil, Essone.
It's a place of very old oaks (500 years) and of numerous ponds. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/ For%C3%AAt_de_S%C3%A9nart
We will have a picnic near the Sénart Pheasantry, a forest information centre based in a former 18th-century hunting lodge.
We must maintain a good pace so as not to miss the return bus at 16:08 (next one at 16:55 so bring a map IGN 2415 OT)

Please, note:

Gare de Juvisy est la plus grande gare francilienne en nombre de voies (hors Paris intra-muros), avec treize voies, actuellement en travaux.
Due to construction works it is strongly recommended not to take the line C because of traffic disruptions and complicated exits!

As it is, take the exit DANTON coté Seine, meeting is outside of station ( Accès DANTON). Please, be sure to choose a right exit, correspondence is short!
Then we will head to the Gare Routière Seine to take a BUS Seine Sénart n°17 at 9:10 dir. Hôpital Joffre, arrives at 9:27 near the entrance of the forest.

Bring a snack, a picnic lunch, enough water and don't forget good will.
