Hikes for Oct 26

Hikes for Oct 26 

Here are the two walks you can choose from for next Wednesday.

Shorter walk - Abbey Road  -  13k


A 13-km loop and possible visit of renovated and glorified "Abbaye de Royaumont". Take advantage of its reopening!
Price is 7.50 per person.  5.50 from 10 people. Please prepare exact change: 5.50+2.00 euros.

For those who are not interested in the visit, we will have a short and pleasant loop around the Abbey.

Picnic is not permitted on the grounds of Royaumont. No benches around.
So I suggest a little snack if you can... Yes you can.  You will have your good lunch on a bench later. At 1:15 p.m.

Getting there:
Departure - 10:04  -  Gare Paris-Nord (Banlieue) arriving at SEUGY 10:48. (Direction Luzarches).
Return - From SEUGY to Paris-Nord. 15:09, more likely 16:01.
Zone 5. (regular return fare from Gare du Nord, 12€).  Mobilis 17.30 from Paris. 

In Seugy I'm pretty sure machines are out of order.
If you are not familiar with Gare du Nord, arrive early enough to make your way through the maze there.

Bring a snack and picnic lunch, water, and don't forget you good will. 
Météo Ile-de-France on Wednesday : 9°C / 15°C. Ensoleillé.
See you on Wednesday.

Longer walk - Forêt royale and walled town of Dourdan -  about 18k

We will do a loop. First, we will walk through the town center and take a pretty path along the river to reach the forest. There are some ups and downs, the total elevation is about 400m.
We will walk at a good pace to finish early enough so that those who wish to do so can have a drink in town or visit the medieval castle and museum (open until 6pm). The train station is near the town center.
Bring lunch and a snack, enough water. Come with good footwear.  


Getting there:
Take RER C -Train DEBO - from  St Michel at 9.12 or Gare d’Austerlitz at 9.17or  Bibliothèque F.        Mitterant at 9.21  direction Dourdan la Forêt arriving at Dourdan at 10.19, Zone 5. Travel in the rear car with the group if you wish.

-Return trains direct from Dourdan with RER C at 16.08 (arr:17.15-17.25);16.38 (arr:17.45-17.55); 17.00        (arr:17.55-18.05) ; 17.08 (arr:18.15-18.25). Around the same times are buses to Massy P+ RER B, about 1 hr also.

If you do not have a "Passe Navigo" (weekly pass, regular price: 22.15 €) or benefit from any discounted fares, buy a "Mobilis 5 zones" (17.30€)

Remember that you need personal accident and liability insurance to participate in a hike. 

See you on Wednesday!
